Provide a brief narrative description of your idea: <br />Continue and expand our yearly activity to implement the City's Bicycle Masterplan. The City should obligate funds for 2020 <br />(which may extend into future budget years) to for: <br />a. A comprehensive signage and wayfinding treatment across Lakewood: $100,000; <br />b. Budget expanded resources to align bike and scooter share investments, if /as they come, with enhanced and upgraded <br />bike infrastructure, including: <br />i. More lanes ($250,000) <br />ii. More bike parking ($100,000) <br />iii. An initial protected lane (up to $1 million - -a major accomplishment -- and necessary for safety) <br />2. Briefly explain how this will benefit the community: <br />To take the next step to expand safe ridership, Lakewood must continue building out our bikeway <br />network and improve its quality in signage and shared protection. This is especially important as <br />bike- and scooter -share programs could expand ridership. <br />3. Estimated expense (provide a range): <br />See above <br />4. If applicable, describe any past proposals or discussions that are related to this priority. <br />Bike Masterplan; annual investments since then. <br />5. If applicable, describe any preliminary discussions you have had with colleagues, the administration <br />and /or your constituents about this priority. <br />Planning plus informal conversation with several Council colleagues. The opportunity that could <br />emerge from bike- and scooter -share would be to align our infrastructure with those investments. <br />021 <br />
