Rethinking Streets for Bikes: An Evidence-Based Guide to 25 Bike-Focused Street Transformations

This report is a tool for implementing change. As more people bike—and use other forms of micromobility—in communities everywhere, it is more important than ever that communities have the confidence to meet these new transportation realities successfully. The case studies within present a diverse look at high-quality bicycle transportation infrastructure implementation from a range of community types. Each case study includes information on design, community context, system connectivity, and other insightful information to raise the bar on what is possible and lower the risk in doing it somewhere else. Many people who are interested in making it comfortable for everyone to bike often look to Denmark and the Netherlands for inspiration—and rightfully so. However, there is a lot of experimentation happening across the United States. Almost all the examples in the book are from the U.S. to show peer communities what can be done and done successfully at a high level. This book is designed for all who engage in the exciting work of improving local transportation systems, including elected officials, professional planners and engineers, urban designers, community organizations and associations, and the public in general.
