Definition: Lane separated from right of way by a physical barrier such as Curb or wall
Promote addition of segregated bike Paths on major connectivity roads like Beach Blvd, Atlantic Blvd, Southside Blvd, Blanding Blvd etc.
Create urban trails for recreation and commuting
Encourage more families to ride bicycles
Bike parking outside business to be accessible. Placing bike racks in locations out of the way of cyclists makes cycling inconvineant
