Bike Lanes on Sidewalks - Feature Request #41
Comments
Technically, it is already in the rule. It is supported as far as Esri lets me. Long story short, it is very difficult to manage intersections correctly with this type of design. I can hide behind bike boxes or other intersection treatments, but the sidewalk bike facilities will not join up at the sidewalk joints. Please test it out and give me feedback, not many people have. |
@Richcng sorry for the long delay. I could raise the bike lane, but the problem is lowering it again. It would either be ramped or a flat edge. A few things have happened when I tried extrusions like this. I have a few thoughts on just raising the thing.

Hi @d-wasserman In my opinion the most complete solution would be having the possibility of adding a bike lane on both shapes; street or sidewalk:
This would also help the user to easily manage the 3 general segment widths (-sidewalk / street/ sidewalk- see illustrations above) in one case or the other. What I mean is that in case we would elevate the bike lane as conceived now, which belongs to the street shape, it would turn into an extension of the sidewalk "conceptually". This would be a bit confusing for the user when looking at the general segment width that wouldn't correspond to the visual aspect of the sidewalk. |
This makes me want to look at abandoning sidewalk shapes entirely like Gothenburg, Sweden did. I could see that working, but just gross to implement. I will think about it. |
Hi there,
I noticed this growing trend in Urban Design lately of having the bike lanes as part of the sidewalk (see diagrams)
Bike lane on sidewalk, planting near the buildings:

Would be possible to implement such a feature to the Complete Street Rule in the near future?
Thank you!
