Typology #7: Bus Island Bike Bypass <br />This typology has more similarities with Typologies #1 & #2 than with <br />the other typologies. It is for constrained environments where there is <br />still sufficient space on the sidewalk to have a sidewalk -level bikeway <br />next to ADA-accessible sidewalk space. This typology does not have <br />a floating bus island and there is no on -street parking next to the bike- <br />way. Instead, the bus island is connected to the sidewalk and the bike- <br />way ramps up from street level to sidewalk level and then around the <br />bus island before ramping back down to street level. The bikeway is <br />typically either Class II or Class IV or in rare cases it consists of shared <br />lane markings. This removes the stress of the bicyclist interacting with <br />a bus stopped at the bus stop. Moreover, it also minimizes the interac- <br />tion between people walking and people biking because, in theory, <br />people waiting for the bus will already be on the street -side of the <br />bicycle facility. <br />Engineering Treatment Details <br />Engineering details and photos are shown of continuous sidewalks, <br />New Zealand rubber humps at driveways, K71 bollards, fanned curb <br />ramps, dual curb ramps, and type C curbs. <br />Continuous Sidewalks, Source: Congress for New Urbanism <br />= 1111111111 <br />0 <br />Typology #7: Bus Island Bike Bypass <br />New Zealand -style Driveway Humps used on Highway 101 in Encinitas, CA <br />UN <br />!PW <br />K71 Bollards <br />I r+ <br />142 <br />
