4.1 VEHICULAR & PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION
4.1.1Travel andDedicated Bicycle Lanes
4.1.2 Bicycle Racks
• Bicycle racks should be placed in highly active pedestrian areas within proximity to Broadway Street. This includes the main entrances of buildings and at key nodes or intersections. • The placement of bicycle racks within the pedestrian realm should not impede pedestrian movement. • Bicycle racks should be constructed of a good quality, single locking ring and post design. • Bicycle racks should generally be installed at regular intervals to promote non-motorized transportation. • A post-and-ring design constructed of aluminum or galvanized steel is preferred as larger units can impede pedestrian movement and snow clearing. • The number and configuration of bicycle racks at any location should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
• Travel lanes provide for the movement of vehicles travelling from one destination to another. • Dedicated bicycle lanes are recommended within the Central Area for the length of Rolph Street between Concession and Baldwin Streets; the length of Bridge Street between Rolph Street and Lisgar Avenue; and the length of Lisgar Avenue between Concession and Brock Streets. These dedicated bicycle facilities should be accommodated within the existing travel lane. • It is recommended that the Town of Tillsonburg undertake a comprehensive Cycling Master Plan in order to determine preferred route locations and phasing strategies.
New dedicated bicycle lanes are recommended for portions of Rolph Street, Bridge Street, and Lisgar Avenue.
A posot-and-ring design constructed of aluminum or galvanized steel is preferred.
