Get your local planners and engineers to take the Green Lane Project protected bike lane survey. The deadline is August 14, 2015.
From Arlington County’s Dave Goodman:
THIS is a big deal.

Back in 2013 the Federal Highway Administration, acknowledging the need for more modern, urban bikeway design guidance, officially recognized resources provided by NACTO and others that were already available. Now, the federal government has developed its own set of standards. These new standards will likely be more readily incorporated by the various state DOT’s that collectively administer the bulk of transportation funding in this country. This in turn, should make it easier to incorporate modern, urban bikeway features into actual ROW improvement projects, regardless of their funding source or who is administering it.
Enjoy.
