MW05-Complete Streets for Bike and Bus

In Philadelphia, transit corridors and bicycle priority corridors overlap frequently. Making room for both requires creative solutions, particularly with curbside boarding for transit users and separated bike lane design. Creative solutions require collaboration. Hear how the City of Philadelphia and SEPTA work together on complete streets project design for buses and trolleys as well as expansion of High Quality Bike Network corridors – part of a goal of providing safe and comfortable bike routes within ¼ mile of every Philadelphian by 2040. Ride approximately 8 miles to see several examples of these overlapping projects. The project teams will describe how they addressed access and safety for transit riders and bicyclists, alike.
