Here is what the Mayor Mike Coleman and the City laid out in the Green Memo III. 1 Explore the creation of a bike hub(s) with commuter facilities, such as showers, lockers, indoor parking, maintenance, security, and office space for transit organizations. 2 Add a minimum of 10 miles of multi-purpose trails. 3 Double the size of the CoGo Bike Share System. 4 Increase bike and pedestrian count programs and analyze data to understand transportation trends and prioritize areas for new infrastructure. 5 Install thoughtfully designed, destination-oriented bike infrastructure connecting CoGo stations, east-west corridors, and within one mile of elementary schools. 6 When building bike lanes, allow space for a striped buffer for future installation of protective devices, such as bollards, once a maintenance plan and equipment for such areas have been resolved. 7 Create, implement, and promote a maintenance plan for bikeways including regular and emergency street sweeping, vegetation management, pothole repair, and snow removal. 8 Create a volunteer Bike Ambassador program to ensure bikeway maintenance needs are identified quickly and to help users navigate the system. 9 Require secure, supervised bike parking be provided at applicable major events taking place on city property or that have received city funding. 10 Encourage all schools to have bike parking. 11 Offer a League of American Bicyclists certified instructor training annually. 12 Create “Park and Pedal” lots much like COTA Park and Ride facilities to make combined car/bicycle commutes more feasible into downtown. 13 Create a program targeting low-income residents that would encourage use of bikes for transportation, offset the costs for CoGo bikeshare use, and/or provide bikes, helmets, and safety training.
