Introduction• Bike path connectivity
-Definition• Points of interest
-Analyzing the physical map-Ranking system
• Improvement plan• Additional thoughts on safety
Methods• Deciding upon points of interest -Ranking them according to accessibility• Bike racks -No more than 50 meters away from a path -30 or more spaces• Proposing new paths to promote connectivity - How we chose new paths
Results
• Many relevant points of interest are inaccessible
• There are sizable gaps in the network of bike paths
• Many bike racks are too small or too far away from paths
Bike Paths in Alachua County
Bike Paths in the City of Gainesville
Relevant Bike Racks on UF Campus
Conclusions• Proposal for new bike paths
-Southwest Archer Road-34th Street-University Avenue-13th Street-Village Drive
• Potential crossover for cyclists on the intersection of 34th and SW Archer Rd
Proposed Bike Paths in the City of Gainesville
Biking Safety Improvements
• Plans to categorize dangerous intersections• Problems with GIS data collection• Potential implications for proper data
collection• Potential real world applications for bicyclists
