“The separated lane is very attractive for safety reasons. My greatest concern is the taking of scarce roadway space for a limited user base.” – Lampe
“Separating the biker from traffic is a given…. We provide it for cars to prevent accidents. We should provide it for bikers given the imbalance in protection.” – Barksdale

18Transp Commission Guidance
1. connected, prioritizing a network that “fills the gaps” in lieu of piece-meal implementation,
2. protected, promoting physically separated facilities to minimize conflicts between roadway users where possible, and
3. rapid, leveraging early-win opportunities that can quickly advance project delivery.
