Objectives and Policies in the Transportation Element of the Campus Master Plan speak to consideration of the bicycle. Objective 2A: The University shall develop a low speed, moderate capacity internal roadway loop including Academic Way/Call Street, Copeland Street, Jefferson Street and Chieftan Way, known as the inner loop system. Policy 2A-1 Develop an access management and urban design plan for the inner loop system which would include, but not be limited to, defining driveway spacing criteria, provision of on-street parking, bike/pedestrian facilities and interface, landscaping criteria, transit usage and land use specific access requirements. Objective 4A: Preserve and enhance the pedestrian and bicycle atmosphere of the campus. Policy 4A-7 Where feasible, turn existing inner-campus parking lots into open green spaces or bicycle parking lots, to promote the pedestrian ambiance of campus. Policy 4A-8 Preserve and enhance existing campus bicycle links between major campus activity areas, by means of a dedicated network that is not built upon. Policy 4A-9 Connect bike paths serving new campus development to existing campus bike paths. Policy 4A-10 Begin immediately to expand, enhance and promote the following programs to increase utilization of pedestrian and non-vehicular facilities: -increase bicycle racks/parking throughout campus; -increase the availability of bicycle lanes throughout the campus; -promote the use of perimeter auto parking then using bicycles or walking modes from there into campus; -work with City bicycle groups when bicycle plan is published to coordinate on-and off-campus improvements and to coordinate promote activities; and -install special signs and paint roads and pathways denoting bicycle paths and parking zones; Policy 4B-2 Expand, enhance and promote the following existing programs and procedures to improve the safety of persons using pedestrian and non-vehicular pathways: -bicycle-mounted safety patrols; -provide bike racks on all buses that serve campus; and, -consider "use-a-bike" Objective 4C Establish priorities for development of pedestrian and bicycle facilities on-campus. Policy 4C-1 Include provisions for bicycle parking facilities in all new construction and renovation projects as well as other appropriate types of capital improvements. Policy 4C-2 Pursue grants and other types of funding for improving the major bicycle pathways on campuses. Policy 4C-3 Collaborate with the Capital Region Transportation Planning Agency's "Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan" to prioritize and coordinate on and off campus improvements to best utilize funding sources of each to maximize the impact of these improvements.
