[1] Non-Bicyclist – I am uncomfortable, have no interest in bicycling, or are physically unable to ride a bike, regardless of the type of bicycle facilities present.

[2] Interested but Concerned – I generally enjoy riding a bike and would like to ride more often, but am often not comfortable riding on the road, even if bike lanes are provided. I prefer to ride on the sidewalk, trails, or very quiet residential roads.

[3] Somewhat Confident – I am comfortable riding in the roadway and may go out of my way to be on a bike, but would generally prefer more separated facilities. I may be inclined to take alternative routes, even if less convenient, if those routes provide a less stressful biking experience.

[4] Highly Confident – I am comfortable riding with traffic and will use roads without bike facilities, even if there are alternative routes available that would provide bike facilities.

9.Is there another street in North Central more suitable as an alternative to the Humboldt bike lanes in the form of a bike boulevard? Why?

Definition of a Bike Boulevard: A bicycle boulevard is a street where bicycles and vehicles share the same travel lane, as opposed to having dedicated vehicle and bike lanes. To create a bike boulevard, in addition to shared lane markings on the roadway, traffic calming devices are installed, including hardscape improvements to slow down vehicle speeds such as raised crosswalks, speed cushions, and curb extensions. This helps to slow down speeds to levels safe enough for vehicles and bicycles to share the same travel lanes (e.g., 20 mph).(Required.)
