Bike Accomodations for Grand Parkway
"We, the undersigned, are in favor of improving pedestrian & bicycle access to the future Grand Parkway segments, specifically:
1. Pedestrian crosswalks and signals at every signalized intersection along the access roads
2. Removal of barriers - Full ADA compliance for all paths. Every bridge that goes in as part of the access roads also has an ADA-compliant path alongside traffic lanes, so that bridges do not become barriers
3. Wide, bi-directional, paved multi-use paths (8 ft wide) for pedestrians, future transit users, runners, children, the elderly, beginner bicyclists, roller-bladers, and wheelchair users, on both sides of the Grand Parkway access road
4. Designated bike lanes, shoulders, or wide outside lanes greater than 14 feet wide on the Grand Parkway access road, which will improve safety and efficiency for future bus operations along the corridor, and for experienced bicyclists and large group bicycle rides (after all, the Grand Parkway will cut through prime pre-MS150 training territory)
Please help make the Grand Parkway a "Complete Street" for all users. Thank you.
We urge you to also send a hardcopy letter with your opinions to Mr. Peter Key, Deputy Director, Harris County Toll Road Authority, 330 Meadowfern Drive, Houston, TX 77067
