Roadway options considered but determined <br />infeasible: <br />On -road Bicycle facilities: <br />Based on the traffic volumes and engagement <br />responses, in -road non -separated bicycle facilities <br />were removed from consideration for Lorain Road <br />in favor of off-road bicycle facilities to increase the <br />safety of bicyclists. <br />Road diet <br />A road diet is a roadway configuration that <br />reduces the overall number of travel lanes to <br />accommodate potential uses such as two-way <br />tett-turn lanes, parking, or bicycle facilities. When <br />implemented in the right location, road diets <br />do not impact traffic flow and improve safety. <br />A road diet generally does not benefit roads <br />with especially high traffic volumes (20.000+ <br />Average Daily Traffic) and was thus dismissed from <br />onsideration for Lorain Road. <br />Mid -block crossings: <br />Mid -Mock pedestrian crossings may be appropriate <br />in a variety of contexts based on pedestrian desire <br />lines, transit stop locations, land use context, <br />and intersection spacing: however, motorists are <br />more likely to expect pedestrians at intersection <br />locations and often drive at higher speeds in <br />mid -block locations. Focus was prioritized on <br />the enhancement of crosswalks at existing <br />intersections but as redevelopment opportunities <br />arise, controlled mid -Mock crossings, such as <br />Pedestrian Hybrid Beacons should be considered. <br />
