B. BICYCLE The purpose of this section is to evaluate existing and planned pathways to create an integrated bicycle network system that connects to existing and proposed routes for recreation or as an alternative mode of transportation. According to the Bicycle & Pedestrian Greenways & Trails Master Plan adopted in 2014, residents showed an interest for the City to provide a comprehensive bicycle network (bicycle lanes, buffered bicycle lanes, shared-use side paths, bicycle friendly intersections, and shared lane markings). This diagram illustrates various existing and planned bicycle lanes throughout east Sunrise. Opportunities to create new local and regional connections, such as, trails, bicycle paths, or shared-use are identified. A 5-minute bicycle ride is equivalent to 1 mile, which encompasses most of east Sunrise.

Improve Connec ti vity
• Expanding and competing bicycle lanes along Sunrise Boulevard, Oakland Park Boulevard and University Drive to connect to the regional system. • Few existing bicycle amenities, such as parking rest areas (parking racks, water fountains, shade trees, shelter, bike repair stations). • No existing bicycle share program. • Coordination with proposed pedestrian, transit, and vehicular improvements. • No clear connections to Sunrise Country Club Golf Course property and proposed development. • Need for a shorter connection between the Village Center and the regional trail system on Sunrise Boulevard.
