South Moreland Boulevard, Shaker Square,
North Moreland Boulevard Rehabilitation
Griffing Avenue to Larchmere Boulevard
PROPOSED LANE USE
In addition to rehabilitating the pavement to create a long lasting smooth driving surface, new pavement markings will be installed along the corridor to provide enhanced bicycle facilities while maintaining on-street parking.
SOUTH MORELAND BOULEVARD - GRIFFING AVENUE TO SHAKER SQUARE
The image below shows the existing lane use typical section along South Moreland Boulevard. The lane use consists of two vehicular through lanes in each direction, a dedicated parking lane along the curb and a grass center median with street trees. Turn lanes are provided at Buckeye Road and Drexmore Road.
This project will revise the existing lane use along South Moreland Boulevard from two through lanes in each direction with a dedicated parking lane along the curb, to a single through lane in each direction, a dedicated bicycle lane in each direction and a parking lane along the curb, as shown on the image below. The dedicated bike lanes will be positioned next to the travel lanes. A door zone buffer will be striped between each bike lane and parking lane so motorists and passengers can open their doors without striking cyclists. The grass center median and street trees will remain.
NORTH MORELAND BOULEVARD - SHAKER SQUARE TO LARCHMERE BOULEVAD
The image below shows the existing lane use typical section along North Moreland Boulevard. The lane use consists of two vehicular through lanes in each direction, a dedicated parking lane along the curb and a grass center median with street trees. Turn lanes are provided at Larchmere Boulevard.
This project will revise the existing lane use along North Moreland Boulevard from two through lanes in each direction with a dedicated parking lane along the curb, to a single through lane in each direction, a shared vehicle and bicycle lane in each direction and a parking lane along the curb, as shown on the image below. The shared vehicle and bicycle lane will be marked with sharrows to bring awareness to drivers that cyclists will also be using the lane. The grass center median and street trees will remain.
