Introduction• Bike path connectivity
-Definition• Points of interest
-Analyzing the physical map-Ranking system
• Improvement plan• Additional thoughts on safety
Methods• Deciding upon points of interest -Ranking them according to accessibility• Bike racks -No more than 50 meters away from a path -30 or more spaces• Proposing new paths to promote connectivity - How we chose new paths
Results
• Many relevant points of interest are inaccessible
• There are sizable gaps in the network of bike paths
• Many bike racks are too small or too far away from paths
Conclusions• Proposal for new bike paths
-Southwest Archer Road-34th Street-University Avenue-13th Street-Village Drive
• Potential crossover for cyclists on the intersection of 34th and SW Archer Rd
Biking Safety Improvements
• Plans to categorize dangerous intersections• Problems with GIS data collection• Potential implications for proper data
collection• Potential real world applications for bicyclists
