50 4. REGIONAL BICYCLE SYSTEM ENHANCEMENT Corridor Identification Process One of the primary objectives of this Regional Bicycle Plan was to identify regional bicycle corridors that could serve as the spine for bicycle travel between and through the local communities. Through a collaborative process with the Bike TAC, and building upon input from the public and stakeholders throughout the region, a process was developed for identifying Regional Bicycle Corridors. Gap Assessment The three larger communities (Fort Collins, Loveland, and Greeley), as well as several of the smaller communities in the MPO, have considerable bicycling networks in place. Many more bicycle facilities are being planned within the communities (refer to Appendix D for a compilation of future bicycle facilities that have been identified by one or more local agency). Even with these planned bicycle facilities, the regional network lacks connections between communities. With a focus on regional connections, the existing and planned bicycle facilities maps were used to identify gaps in the bicycle network. These gaps, paired with information about desired travel patterns obtained through the public outreach program, were valuable in identifying nonͲcorridor specific desire routes segments for regional bicycle travel. Regional Corridor Selection Criteria A series of selection criteria were established to facilitate locating potential regional bike corridors: Consistent with Local/State Planning – Proposed bike routes that have been identified in local plans were used as a starting point, with preference for routes in which the jurisdiction has a policy to accommodate bikes (e.g., a complete streets policy). Supports Tourism and Local/Regional Economy – Major employment centers and the likelihood of commuters using routes were considered as well as schools and the potential for student use; routes used for race events and/or group riders that enhance tourism were also identified. Connects Multiple Jurisdictions – Connections between communities that would create a network of bicycle routes were identified. Improves Bicycle LOS – Consideration was given to travel sheds with poor bicycle level of service (LOS) and where significant improvement in bike LOS would result from implementation. Provides Multimodal Connections – Existing and future transit service and stop locations were identified and potential bike route connections to transit and park and ride locations were considered, with a focus on connecting to regional transit service. Connects to Regional Trails/Trailheads – Existing and future regional trails were identified to assess the potential connections to these trails. Obstacles to Implementation – Known obstacles in the vicinity of each potential route were identified, including number of property owners along a trail corridor, right of way (public, private, railroad, ditch, etc.), wildlife habitat and/or environmentally sensitive lands. Routes were selected to minimize potential obstacles (e.g., stream crossings, railroad crossings, interstate crossing, etc.). Public Input – Input from the extensive public outreach process, including the survey results, was used to identify routes with a strong public demand for a bicycle connection.

4. REGIONAL BICYCLE SYSTEM ENHANCEMENT

Corridor Identification ProcessOne of the primary objectives of this Regional Bicycle Plan was to identify regional bicycle corridors that couldserve as the spine for bicycle travel between and through the local communities. Through a collaborativeprocess with the Bike TAC, and building upon input from the public and stakeholders throughout the region, aprocess was developed for identifying Regional Bicycle Corridors.

Gap AssessmentThe three larger communities (Fort Collins, Loveland, and Greeley), as well as several of the smaller communitiesin the MPO, have considerable bicycling networks in place. Many more bicycle facilities are being planned withinthe communities (refer to Appendix D for a compilation of future bicycle facilities that have been identified byone or more local agency). Even with these planned bicycle facilities, the regional network lacks connectionsbetween communities. With a focus on regional connections, the existing and planned bicycle facilities mapswere used to identify gaps in the bicycle network. These gaps, paired with information about desired travelpatterns obtained through the public outreach program, were valuable in identifying non corridor specific desireroutes segments for regional bicycle travel.

Regional Corridor Selection CriteriaA series of selection criteria were established to facilitate locating potential regional bike corridors:

Consistent with Local/State Planning – Proposed bike routes that have been identified in localplans were used as a starting point, with preference for routes in which the jurisdiction has a policy toaccommodate bikes (e.g., a complete streets policy).

Supports Tourism and Local/Regional Economy – Major employment centers and thelikelihood of commuters using routes were considered as well as schools and the potential for studentuse; routes used for race events and/or group riders that enhance tourism were also identified.

Connects Multiple Jurisdictions – Connections between communities that would create a networkof bicycle routes were identified.

Improves Bicycle LOS – Consideration was given to travel sheds with poor bicycle level of service(LOS) and where significant improvement in bike LOS would result from implementation.

Provides Multimodal Connections – Existing and future transit service and stop locations wereidentified and potential bike route connections to transit and park and ride locations were considered,with a focus on connecting to regional transit service.

Connects to Regional Trails/Trailheads – Existing and future regional trails were identified toassess the potential connections to these trails.

Obstacles to Implementation – Known obstacles in the vicinity of each potential route wereidentified, including number of property owners along a trail corridor, right of way (public, private,railroad, ditch, etc.), wildlife habitat and/or environmentally sensitive lands. Routes were selected tominimize potential obstacles (e.g., stream crossings, railroad crossings, interstate crossing, etc.).

Public Input – Input from the extensive public outreach process, including the survey results, wasused to identify routes with a strong public demand for a bicycle connection.

Regional Bicycle CorridorsUsing the criteria described above, and through a collaborative process with the Bike TAC and the local agencycouncils and boards, a recommended regional bicycle network has been established. Twelve Regional BicycleCorridors comprise the recommended network, as shown on Figure 4.1. Separate maps (Figures 4.2– 4.13) andcorresponding tables (Tables 4.1 – 4.12) for each of the 12 corridors provide pertinent information about eachcorridor (i.e., existing bicycle facilities along or connecting to the corridor, key local connections, schoollocations, number of parcels along the corridor, and miles of corridor on street versus off street). Each corridorhas been divided into segments and the segments are described as:

Existing – this segment of the Regional Bicycle Corridor exists

Planned – this segment of the Regional Bicycle Corridor does not exist, but it has been identified in oneor more local planning document

Future – this segment of the Regional Bicycle Corridor does not exist, nor has it been identified in alocal planning document; it is a new recommendation to complete a needed regional connection

The corridor map is supported with a narrative description each segment in tabular format. The tables include:

Overview Narrative – A narrative vision of the entire corridor

Planning References – A list of plan citations referencing this corridor along with a code (letter) foruse in referencing each corridor segment

Segment ID – The identification of the segment to correspond with the corridor map

Jurisdiction – The name of the jurisdiction where the segment starts and ends

Description – A narrative overview of the segment with acknowledgement of local planning, futureprojects, and opportunities

Plan – Code referencing the plan citation for the segment

Parks/Natural Areas – The name of a destination within proximity segment

Transit Connections – The number of transit stops with a ½ mile of the segment

Local Connection – Future infrastructure necessary for municipality/county to access the corridorsegment

Significant Infrastructure – Like infrastructure needed for the segment to be built (bridge,underpass, signalization)

Temporary Alignment – Short term trail alignment that could “bridge the gap” until the permanentinfrastructure can be built

Alternative Alignment – Segment alignment that may prove more feasible over time that visualizedalignment proposed in plan.

A corridor selection criteria matrix, which documents key attributes of each corridor with respect to the eightevaluation criteria, is included in Appendix E.

The North Front Range Metropolitan Planning Organization (NFRMPO) Regional

Bicycle Plan is the collaborative efforts of all participating jurisdictions, agencies, and

community organizations to create an inventory map of existing and planned

(future) trails within and connecting to the NFRMPO region.

All maps produced for the Regional Bicycle Plan are intended to be used primarily for

the coordination of trail construction for regional connectivity between jurisdictions.

Alignment of trails and corridors are conceptual and may or may not be on railroad,

ditch or public rights-of-way.

All trail representations are for planning purposes only. Please contact the local,

county, or state jurisdiction for specific trail planning information. 57th Street

The North Front Range Metropolitan Planning Organization (NFRMPO) Regional

Bicycle Plan is the collaborative efforts of all participating jurisdictions, agencies,

and community organizations to create an inventory map of existing and planned

(future) trails within and connecting to the NFRMPO region.

All maps produced for the Regional Bicycle Plan are intended to be used primarily for

the coordination of trail construction for regional connectivity between jurisdictions.

Alignment of trails and corridors are conceptual and may or may not be on railroad,

ditch or public rights-of-way.

All trail representations are for planning purposes only. Please contact the local,

county, or state jurisdiction for specific trail planning information.

The North Front Range Metropolitan Planning Organization (NFRMPO) Regional

Bicycle Plan is the collaborative efforts of all participating jurisdictions, agencies,

and community organizations to create an inventory map of existing and planned

(future) trails within and connecting to the NFRMPO region.

All maps produced for the Regional Bicycle Plan are intended to be used primarily

for the coordination of trail construction for regional connectivity between

jurisdictions. Alignment of trails and corridors are conceptual and may or may not

be on railroad, ditch or public rights-of-way.

All trail representations are for planning purposes only. Please contact the local,

county, or state jurisdiction for specific trail planning information.

Other Regional Improvements and ProgramsThe Regional Bicycle Plan acknowledges two supplemental regional improvements and programs along with thedevelopment of the recommended Regional Bicycle Corridors: bicycle participation counting and bicycle sharingprograms.

Bicycle Count LocationsOne of the greatest challenges of implementing a bicycle network is the lack of documentation on usage anddemand. Without consistent and comprehensive bicycle count data, it is difficult to measure the positivebenefits of investment in bicycle infrastructure and to make informed program and funding decisions. CDOTestablished a formal bike/pedestrian counting program in 2010 including the purchase of permanent and mobilebicycle and pedestrian counting units. CDOT also has a clearinghouse for statewide bicycle and pedestrian countdata through the State Data Committee (AVID). The NFRMPO Bike TAC recognizes the importance of collectinguseful and consistent bicycle count data; the Bike TAC recommends the following approach to bicycle count datacollection:

Identify locations with high bicycle crash numbers and obtain bicycle counts to understand the bicyclecrash rates (as opposed to crash totals) and ultimately to identify mitigation measures.

Implement policies throughout the region to collect bicycle data with intersection turning movementcounts. Traffic turning movement counts are typically captured by video, and the person reviewing thevideo could include bike counts concurrently with traffic counts.

Placement of temporary or permanent bicycle counters:

Identify location of any permanent counters in the region

Focus on counting bicycle activity on the Regional Bicycle Corridors; consider a three yearrotation of counts, similar to what local agencies do for traffic counts

Use Poudre Trail as a case study; place counters at multiple locations along the trail

Use temporary counters for before and after study findings (e.g., before and after trailextension)

High use locations to demonstrate potential

Conduct counts during special events

Create data collection criteria for counter selection

Provide data to State Data Committee (AVID)

Specific locations identified for bicycle counts:

Taft/Shields between Fort Collins and Loveland along Regional Bicycle Corridors #7 and #8

Poudre River crossing of I 25 (before and after construction)

Regional Bicycle Corridor #4

County Road 17 in Berthoud

SH 257 between Mad Russian neighborhood and downtown Milliken

Bicycle Sharing LocationsBicycle sharing programs are services in which bicycles are made available for public use. The concept behindbike sharing is to provide free or affordable access to bicycles for short distance trips as an alternative tomotorized public transportation or private vehicles. Such programs are typically implemented in urban settingsand often are used to solve the “last mile” problem and connect users to public transit networks. Bike sharingprograms generally fall in two categories: bike libraries (like the one in Fort Collins’) in which the user checks outa bike and returns it to the same location, and station based bike sharing (like B Cycle in Denver and Boulder) inwhich stations are located throughout the area and the user can check out/return a bike at any station.

The following criteria can be used to identify potential bike share station locations, based on program successesthroughout the country:

Places with the highest population and/or employment density, specifically near young to middle agedadults (usually in downtowns)

Near public activity centers such as universities, cultural or tourist attractions, libraries, parks andrecreational destinations

Along established and/or proposed bike routes, especially shared use paths and bike lanes

Near retail centers

Spaced no more than ½ mile from another station

In highly visible areas that are easy to access and do not block pedestrian traffic or access to nearbydestinations

Based on community input
