Dear Mr. Lowry,
Enclosed are copies of the Current and Proposed Bicycle Plan and new bicycle
route descriptions proposed by the Parks and Recreation Department. One
major difference is that the proposed plan indicates ALL public streets will now
be considered an unsigned Class Three Bikeway. Also enclosed is Section Six
from the current Master Street Plan that contains the current summary of the
Bicycle Plan. Some of the text in this area will be edited.
The new Bicycle Plan is intended to be updated every few years represents
goals for 2015. At the time of future review routes may be added and existing
routes may be revised.
Due to graphical errors two Class One routes titled "Colonel Glenn Road and
Lawson Road" are not shown on the map. Parks and Recreation has indicated
that these routes will connect the Extreme Trail with the Rock Creek Trail and
36th Street, respectively. These routes will generally follow Colonel Glenn and
Lawson Roads.
The Bicycle Plan update is scheduled for the December 16, 2004 Agenda but will
be deferred to February 3, 2005.
Planning and Development would like to hear your comments and concerns on
the routes.
Sincerely,
Charles Bloom

SECTION G: BICYCLE PLAN
INTRODUCTION
It is the City's intention to provide bicycle accessibility throughout Little Rock. This can be
accomplished with the use of the existing street network, with additional bicycle paths and
lanes where necessary for safety and continuity. In addition to the existing street network,
the City of Little Rock has adopted a network of routes to be specially designated for
bicycle use. This Plan provides a sy,5tem of Class III and Class II (shared) routes and Class
I (physically separated) routes. It is the proposal of the City of Little Rock to review these
routes on a regular basis to determine the need of upgrading the routes to Class II (shared)
Routes or Class I Routes, and to review the need for additional routes. The decision to
upgrade the routes will be based on usage, safety and speed and volume of motorized
Vehicular traffic.
The City of Little Rock also intends to implement Class I (not associated with a road)
Routes in phases. A Class I non -road Route (bike path) may be opened and built to a
reduced standard (paving surface). If a Class I Route is built to less than the standard, the
actual standards. of these "Development Paths" will be designated on the plan map. Any
Class I non -road route must be reviewed and approved by the City of Little Rock Parks
Department. The City is using the phasing process in an attempt to speed the process of
implementation. Over time the Class I may be upgraded to full bike path standards. Class
I (road) routes must be included in the review of new streets by the Public Works
Department.
All bicyclists wish to have safe, direct routes for nonrecreational trips. The most advanced
riders can generally operate under most traffic conditions. However the more casual user
often will feel intimidated by the vehicular traffic. This combined with high volume and
high speed vehicular traffic and few direct routes available creates the need for a bicycle
route system desirable for all users.
BICYCLE FACILITIES
Bicycles are legally classified as vehicles which may be ridden on public roadways.
Therefore, any facilities designed for the sole use of bicycles must allow the bicyclists to
emulate vehicle drivers. It should be noted; however, bicycles have the right to share all
city streets. Thus, all streets, unless otherwise stated, should be considered "shared
facilities". On shared facilities, the bicyclist shares the normal vehicle travel lanes with
motorized vehicles. Where bicycle travel is significant or high volume and high speed
vehicular traffic is present, additional bicycle facilities are recommended.
Bicycle only facilities are of two types: Bike Paths and Bike Lanes. A bicycle path is a
physically separate, bicycle -only facility. A bicycle lane is a specifically designated area on
a street for the sole use of bicycles. Class.I bikeways or "Bike Paths" are constructed and
designed for the exclusive use of bicyclists. These paths are completely separated from
motor vehicle traffic. Bike Paths are the safest for prevention of accidents with motorized
vehicles.
The main advantage of a Class I bikeway is the total separation between automobile traffic
and bicyclists. It is, in essence, a road for bicyclists designed to accommodate speeds of up
to 35 MPH with sharp turns and meandering pathways avoided whenever possible. Class I
bikeways should be used when motor vehicle traffic volumes or speeds are too high for
Class II bikeways. They are also necessary when connections need to be made where no
roadways exist.
While Class I bikeways are the safest and provide enjoyable rides, they are the most costly
to construct and maintain. A reliable and continuing maintenance program is essential to
the continued use and safety of the Bike element of the Master Street Plan. Design of
Class I (non -road or road) bikeways must be done with care to insure safe intersections
avoiding bicycle - motor vehicle accidents.
Class II bikeways or "Bike Lanes" consist of a paved area both sides of a roadway with a
painted stripe separating the bikeway from motor vehicle traffic. A Class II bicycle route is
used for safety reasons where mixing of bicycle and motorized vehicles is unsafe for both.
These routes may either be a smooth paved shoulder or a section of the paved roadway.
Class II bikeways require minimal construction and are likely to be located on higher
volume and vehicular traffic major roadways. Class II Routes on collector roads should use
the existing paved area. This would mean that in commercial areas with a Class II lane,
only two traffic lanes would be allowed, except at intersections. Only a painted line on the
street separates bicyclists from motorists, additional pavement markings and signage are
required. Class II Bikeways are easier to maintain and allow for maximum design
flexibility. Accommodations can be made for automobile parking between the bike lane
and curb where street parking is required. In order to accommodate parking on new
(improved) roads additional ROW and paving will be required if parking is included. When
space is limited, parking may have to be restricted to one side of the street.
Class III bikeways have only special signage. These routes use the existing vehicular area
with no physical separation. Generally, Class III bikeways are local streets or higher class
streets when speeds are less than 30 miles per hour and volumes less than half design
volume. Since there is no additional area, Class III routes have no additional maintenance
requirements (except for signage).
The main disadvantage of Class III bikeways is that they provide the bicyclists with
minimal protection from vehicular traffic. Safety concerns make shared facilities
insufficient for high speed streets with heavy traffic.
2
CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS:.
Class I bikeways may have an initial construction phase with a lesser standard. These
routes should be designated "Development Routes". Any Development Route must be
constructed with a industrial sand or screening of 100% crushed material or compacted
soil. Off-road (large wheel) or mountain bikes will be recommended for these paths. In all
cases the path must be constructed so it will properly drain.
Class I bikeways should be constructed to be permanent. Proper drainage is important to
prevent standing water on the route. Construction should be of 2" flexible paving on a
compacted 4" gravel base or 4" flexible paving on compacted or undisturbed suitable soil. A
sloped surface of 1/4" in 1 foot will allow for drainage.
Paths should be constructed at least 10 feet from large trees to minimize root damage to
paths and decrease the possibility of a cyclist/tree collision. For safety, separate paths
should not run immediately parallel and adjacent to streets.
A one way bike path, while not recommended should be minimum of 5 feet wide, and a two
way path should be at least 10.0 feet wide with a stripe down the middle to separate the
two lanes. For Class I, non -road, routes where pedestrian traffic is expected, separate
lanes 4 feet wide should be constructed for their use.
Class I bikeways build as part of an arterial will require an additional 10 feet of right-of-
way (5 foot each side for one-way path) or an easement in which the path is placed. The
required sidewalk along these streets can be incorporated into the bike path. The result
would be a 9 foot wide path on each side of the road. A four foot section of the path should
be marked for pedestrian use.
Class II Bikeways should be of the same construction as the streets on which they are
constructed. The minimum width is 6 feet from back of curb, . If roadway shoulders are
used for bikeways, the shoulder should be 5 feet wide. This width should discourage
vehicular traffic use and keep the path free of debris.
3
Class III bikeways are part of the street. No additional construction is required. The
AASHTO "Guide for Development of Bicycle Facilities", (1991) is the recognized standard
for bikeway design and should be utilized by bikeway designers.
1. If on -street parking is desired, additional ROW and paving will be required,
subject to Traffic Engineering approval.
2. Two one-way 5 feet each side, one two-way 10 feet one side
The Plan should include proposed, development and existing routes.

SIGNAGE AND MARKING:
Signage for bikeways consists of pole mounted signs and painted graphics on the
roadways. Pole mounted signs include: usual traffic signs; bike route signs indicating the
degree of difficulty of the bikeway; signs giving bikeway designations; bicycle bus stop and
color coded signs to aid bicyclists in following routes. Bike crossing signs should be used to
alert motorists to the presence of bicyclists. All classes of bikeways should be signed.
Signs and graphics painted on the pavement may vary depending upon the class of a
particular bikeway.
Class I bikeways utilized by bicycles and/or pedestrians should have a solid or dashed 4"
wide yellow or white line separating the various use lanes. Intersections should be
appropriately striped to warn motorists to be aware of bicyclists.
Class II bikeways require 8" wide, solid or dashed, yellow or white striping to denote the
bike lane. Additional striping may be needed at intersections.
Class I and II bikeways should be marked with on street bicycle graphics in white paint
with directional arrows directing the flow of bicycle traffic. Class III bikeways may be
marked with on street bicycle graphics as described above. For Class II routes at
intersections where it is necessary for bikes to merge with automobile traffic due to right
turn lanes, the bike lane should resume on the other side of the intersection.
tii
Rating bikeways as to degree of difficulty and using color coded signage to designate them
is helpful for cyclists. The bikeways can be color coded as black for difficult, red for
moderate, and blue for a minimal level of difficulty. Marking specific routes with street
graphics is important to keep cyclists aware of what direction they are traveling. East -
west routes are designated with even numbers, with north -south routes designated with
odd numbers.
The most important aspect of signage is that it remain consistent from bikeway to
bikeway. This will reduce confusion for and aid those using of Bikeways.

SECTION 7: AUTHORITY, JURISDICTION AND ENFORCEMENT
A. Any subdivider of land or applicant for rezoning, variance, conditional use permit,
site plan or a building permit (herein referred to as applicant) review within the
official planning area of the City shall conform to the Plan by indicating on any
plats, drawings or surveys submitted to the City for its review, any street identified
in the Plan which traverses or abuts the said property. Applicants for site plan
review and building permit are not required to dedicate or construct any bicycle
path or route as described in the Plan.
Where the said property abuts a street included in the Plan, the property owner
shall dedicate one half of the required right-of-way as established in the Plan
(except as provided below). In the event that the proposed centerline of the right-of-
way does not coincide with the existing property lines resulting in a
disproportionate amount of right-of-way required from one property owner, the City
will reserve for acquisition any right-of-way in excess of one half of the total right-
of-way which the property owner is required to dedicate. where the said property is
traversed by the street, the property owner will be required to dedicate the entire
amount of right-of-way as established in the Plan.
Any right-of-way acquisition must be made within twelve (12) months from the date
the final plat is filed for record with the Office of the Pulaski County Circuit Clerk
or within twelve (12) months from date of final approval of the appropriate
application. Acquisition shall be deemed as having been made when either an
option to purchase is executed or suit to condemn is filed by the City; provided,
however, no subdivider or other applicant shall be denied the privilege of having a
plat or application approved solely by reason of the issue of reserved right-of-way
unless the City determines and advises said subdivider or applicant within sixty
(60) days from the date his plat or application is presented to the City that public
funds for acquisition will be available within twelve (12) months from the date the
plat or application is presented.
Where an Expressway, Principal Arterial or Minor Arterial intersects an existing or
proposed Expressway, Principal Arterial or Minor Arterial and where an
Expressway or Principal Arterial intersects a Collector street, the subdivider or
applicant shall dedicate an additional 10 feet of right-of-way, measured from the
centerline of the right-of-way, for a right turn lane. This additional right-of-way
shall normally be 250 feet in length measured from the intersecting right-of-way.
At such intersections, the intersecting right-of-way lines shall normally have a
radius of 75 to 100 feet.
B. Whenever the City is presented with a request for review of a plat or application
involving any facility shown or described in the Plan, the City will determine the
exact location and extent of right-of-way necessary for the provisions of said facility,
and shall require, in conjunction with the approval of the preliminary plat or
application, the dedication or reservation of the right-of-way.
C. No building permit shall be issued for the construction of any new building, or for
an addition to an existing building, or for the moving of any building, on any lot or
parcel of land which is traversed by or abuts any street facility indicated herein
unless it has first been determined that the proposed structure would not he within
the proposed bounds of said facility.
D. No lot or parcel of land which lies within the right-of-way of a proposed street shall
be privately developed, nor shall any permit be issued authorizing such until the
City shall have refused to execute a written option or to file suit for condemnation to
acquire said area. Such refusal shall be given by the City within one year of the
date such action is requested by the property owner; provided, however, no property
owner shall be denied the privilege of developing such lot or parcel of land by
reasons of the provisions of this ordinance unless the City determines and advises
such property owner within sixty (60) days from the date of written request for
action that public funds for the acquisition will be available within twelve (12)
months from the date of request for such action by said property owner.
E. No provision of this ordinance shall be construed to deny a permit for the
remodeling, repair or maintenance of an existing building not involving structural
alteration or for the use of said lot or parcel for purposes not involving the
construction or relocation of buildings.
F. The Plan of the Little Rock Planning Area shall be duly considered prior to action on
any matter related thereto which comes before the Little Rock Planning
Commission, the Board of Directors or any of the departments, agencies, boards or
commissions of this City.
