AE-6: Bicycle Access

Goal

Promote bicycling in communities by providing new (or by upgrading existing) dedicated cycling facilities within the project Right-of-Way (ROW).

Requirements

Achieve Credit AE-3 Context Sensitive Solutions (CSS) and describe the need, purpose and appropriateness for planned, new, or upgraded bicycle facilities in the white paper document for Credit AE-3. The CSS document should clearly note whether bicycle facilities or improvements are required or have otherwise been requested by the public. In order to achieve this credit, a bicycle-only facility must be present within the ROW at the start of construction or result from construction of this project. Table AE-6.1 shows the points available for this credit.
