For every car sola, three bikes are sold_ Mare Americans cycle than golf, ski, A > -40N A- or piay tennis combined. RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. Build it And They Will Come Bike infrastructure matters. Cyclists feel safest on bike lanes and Lodi needs to greatly expand its network of bike lanes throughout the city. 2. Make Turner Road Bike Friendly Turner Road came up over and over again as the road with the most problems for cyclists. 1. Reduce car speeds on Turner, add traffic calming devices 2. Fix the RR crossing at General Mills, on the north side. Cyclists frequently fall there because of the angle of the tracks. 3. Fix the crossing at Turner and Loma. • Put in lights that flash on the roadway when someone is crossing. • Add an additional crossing so that bicyclists don't end up crossing into the wrong lane. 4. Fix the crossing at Turner and Mills. • Change the crossing at Mills so that bicyclists don't end up crossing into the wrong lane. • Make the button to change the light bicycle friendly. • Straighten the curve in the bike/walking entry which is very difficult to navigate by bike 5. Take out a car lane on each side of Turner Road; add a turn lane down the middle and bike lanes on each side of the road. Turn Turner Road into Lodi's premier biking roadway. 3. Bike Parking Bike parking is needed everywhere! 4. Signage Add more signage including: • Way -finding signs • Safety signs • Bike friendly business signs ■ Markings on the roadway 5. Loop Detectors We need these not only on roads with bike lanes, but at all intersections throughout Lodi, in aarticular: Pine and Cherokee, Lower Sacramento Rd and Lodi Avenue, Lower Sacramento Road turning east onto Elm, and Turner Road at Lower Sacramento Road 6. Family Friendly Destinations Lodi Lake is our best family friendly bike destinations in town. • Create a complete bicycle/walking loop around the lake with a bridge over the Mokelumne River. • Add more Bike parking • Add bicycle rentals • Focus on creating safe bike routes to family friendly places in Lodi: Such as Lodi Lake, Downtown Lodi, Micke Grove Park, and many schools. 7. Create a Canal Bikeway A canal bikeway is already in the Bike Master Plan. Develop biking/walking/jogging opportunities away from cars. 8. Connectivity Fix bike lanes that simply end and create a system of bike lanes that interconnect! 9. Bike Safety Create a concerted bike safety campaign to educate both car drivers and cyclists on rules of the road and road etiquette. Cyclist's lives depend on this! 10. Work with the County Coordinate bike transportation with the County. 11. More Bike Lanes: Require bike lanes on all new roads in Lodi. Additionally, require bike signage, green lanes, and other bike friendly designations on all newly paved existing roads. F st-track Pine: Street from the Arch east to QuEy Roadas a bike Ian 12. Lodi Bicycle Commission Create a Bicycle Commission so that members of the cycling community can have input in future road planning.
