Hello LT, I am writing to share this exciting news. If you have questions, please reply directly to me or the email at the bottom of the release, and I will do my best to consolidate and reply back to all.
Many thanks, John Mendelson, on behalf of the Lincoln Bicycle & Pedestrian Advisory Committee Advisory Shoulders are coming to Farrar Road! Advisory shoulders—an application of paint on roadway edges that creates visually distinct spaces for walkers, bikers, and runners—have been proven to reduce vehicle speed, lower stress for those on foot or bike, and increase safety for all road users. A recent study showed that advisory shoulders reduce vehicular crashes by 40%. Advisory shoulders have been implemented in cities and towns across the nation, and in Canada <https://youtu.be/0zdDIvKXMxY>. Starting in April 2022, Lincoln will pilot advisory shoulders on Farrar Road for one year with a design <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Mcz72_4NS0_urkrc6JA6Ve0DcYLzFeBJ6YykalxlQCw/edit?usp=sharing> that has been approved by the Federal Highway Administration. A crosswalk to the Rt 126 roadside path will be installed at a later date. BPAC members will reach out in August to collect feedback on the Farrar Road treatment from all roadway users. For those unfamiliar with advisory shoulders, please consult this guide <https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/12UpiUJlwM8--ht2LMn1jHbHLRNYHqeYQZQ4Mtoyrbv8/edit#slide=id.g115d4249067_0_0> for walkers, bikers, and drivers navigating Farrar Road. The pilot is a collaboration of Lincoln’s Bicycle & Pedestrian Advisory Committee, Roadway & Traffic Committee, Department of Public Works, Police Department, Select Board, and the Federal Highway Administration.
