1. Presented By Connor Mills, Jessica Diaz, Lily Wan, and Giuseppe Zuozo Assessing Bike Paths Evaluating the Current State of Bike Paths On- and Off-Campus

2. Background Top Bicycle Friendly City 10.3% Campus Population Bikes Over 60,000 People on 2,000 Acre Campus Gainesville ranks #2 in Bicycle Accidents in Florida -1999-2011: 30 Fatalities

3. On-campus Bike Paths ●Bike Path Criteria ➢ Average Annual Daily Traffic ≥ 15,000 Vehicles ➢ Determined Multi-Use Paths and Bike Lane Shoulders ●Areas for Improvement ➢ SW 16th Avenue/SW 13th Street ➢ Hull Road/ Mowry Road

6. As Seen in Boston, MA

7. Hull Road/Mowry Road

8. On-Campus Safety ●Bike-Box Lanes ➢ Paint bike lanes a certain color to increase biker visibility ➢ Reduce motor vehicle conflicts ➢ Case Study: Portland, OR

9. As seen in Portland, OR

11. Off Campus Bike Paths EXISTING Bike lanes + paved shoulders: 80 miles Multi-use bike lanes: 29.7 miles Most populated off-campus residential areas: ●Northeast of campus ●Southwest of campus RADIUS ●How was it determined? ○ 100-student poll ○ Majority of off-campus students live within 3 miles NEEDED PATHS BASED ON: ●UF Student population density ●Proximity to campus ●Current accessibility to bike paths ●Safety

12. 100-student Poll On-campus: 43.88% Off-campus: 56.12% Less than 3 miles off-campus: 46.32% Over 3 miles from campus: 13.69%

15. Radius Selection by location Buffer Student Population Density Spatial Analysis –Point Density Analysis By Equal Intervals 4 tiers Off-Campus Bike Paths Methods Proposed Bike Paths Evaluate under-serviced, high density areas Drawing tool to create new layer

16. Conclusion: Suggested Improvements On-campus ●Add 4 mi of bike paths on UF campus ●Add designated stop sign/light areas for cyclists Off-campus Highest UF student concentrated areas: ●NE of campus ●SW of campus Add 15.3 mi of bike paths off UF campus ●Better connect UF students and faculty to campus ●Safer routes ● Encourage alternative, sustainable transportation
