The excerpt is from the WRP. Apparently no separate bike paths wil be provided since the speed limit will be set at 25 mph or below and it was determined that that precludes the need.
"Bike lanes are needed along higher speed urban thoroughfares where cyclists are not physically able to maintain the speed of automobiles and trucks. Where posted speeds are 25 mph, or less, bicyclists are very comfortable riding in the main travel lanes with motorized vehicles. The document Designing New Jersey, defines 25 mph as a good design speed in neighborhoods where walking is a priority mode. With comfortable, low speed streets planned for the Redevelopment Area (east of Grand Ave.), bicyclists essentially have all streets in this fine grid network available for their safe use. Design and posted speeds should be the same in low speed walkable areas. Cyclists are carefully considered and will be accommodated in the area streets. Since pedestrian scale is the critical design assumption for all roadways in the redevelopment area and these speeds will be set at 25 mph, no separate bike paths or bike lanes are needed to serve bicycle needs." ------------------------ Yahoo!
