Assessing Bike PathsEvaluating the Current State of Bike Paths
On- and Off-Campus
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
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
As Seen in Boston, MA
Hull Road/Mowry Road
On-Campus Safety
●Bike-Box Lanes➢Paint bike lanes a certain color
to increase biker visibility➢Reduce motor vehicle conflicts➢Case Study: Portland, OR
As seen in Portland, OR
Off Campus Bike PathsEXISTING
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
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%
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
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
