Roadway cross section illustration showing curbside projected bike lanes and bus-only lanes, with car parking only on one side of the street. Text: "Concept 2: Bus-Only Lanes Design Elements • Bus-only lane in each direction (increased efficiency & reliability; aligns with AC Transit's long-term goals) • 1 travel lane in each direction (vs 2 today) • Protected bike lanes, 5-6 ft (materials TBD) • Parking on one side of street • New pedestrian-activated lights at some intersections Trade-offs • 50-75% of parking removed (one full side +) • Can't fit pedestrian refuge islands • Still 4 lanes to cross (likely 5 at signals) • May be difficult to fit left-turn lanes • At intersection, bike lane shares space with right turns • On side without parking, bus stops shared with bike lane • Narrow bike lanes put cyclists closer to opening car doors"
