Andrew ‑ The City has reviewed the cycle track path concept provided by you and please note the following comments.

  *   The green paint shall extend all the way to Forest Avenue from the Enterprise driveway. Attached is the green paint product that should be installed.
  *   There should be a 4" yellow dashed line dividing the cycle track with bike lane markings (helmeted cyclist and arrows) indicating a two‑way cycle track.
  *   The attached sign shall be installed at Forest Avenue/Kennebec Street intersection on that corner illustrating two‑way bicycle traffic to motor vehicles. The sign size shall be 24"x24".
  *   Bollards shall be spaced 15 feet apart. Green colored 42 inch high bollards should be installed per the attached standard.
  *   The 2‑foot buffer between the parked vehicles and the raised path needs to be removed per Fire Department comments (they are fine with the bollard area).
  *   The plan should note that the project shall be responsible for a bituminous patching within the cycle track before the suggested treatment is installed.  The limits, extent, and methods of patching shall be coordinated with DPS.
  *   The buffer space shall have chevron markings. A six‑inch white gore line should be provided every 15 feet.
  *   The outside line of the cycle track shall be 6" wide and the inside line shall be 4" wide.
  *   The dashed lines at the driveways shall be a 2‑foot stripe with a 2‑foot gap.
If you have any questions regarding these details, please feel free to contact me.
