Welcome!

A study is underway to explore options to improve Lindell Boulevard between Kingshighway Boulevard and Vandeventer Avenue.

The purpose of this study is to provide recommendations to improve safety and optimize transportation for all users of Lindell Boulevard.

Three concepts are presented to achieve these goals, all of which include a lane diet to reduce the number of lanes on Lindell Boulevard from two lanes each direction with a center turn lane to one lane each direction with a center turn lane. Space from the removed lanes would be used to widen the remaining lanes and provide dedicated bike facilities along the corridor.

The planning team is looking for your feedback by ranking three proposed concepts for Lindell Boulevard. Each concept's proposed cross-section, description, and estimated timeline are shown below, followed by an option to rank from favorite to least favorite. A space for comments is provided as well.

The survey can be completed using a mobile device or a computer and will take approximately three minutes to complete.

Thank you for your interest, time, and participation.

Question Title

Concept 1 - Buffered Bike Lanes

Concept 1 roadway cross section consists (from left to right) of 8 foot wide sidewalk, 6 foot wide tree lawn, 8 foot wide parking lane, 5 foot wide bicycle lane, 2 foot wide buffer, 10 foot wide drive lane, 10 foot wide center turn lane, 10 foot wide drive lane, 2 foot wide buffer, 5 foot wide bicycle lane, 8 foot wide parking lane, 6 foot wide tree lawn, and 8 foot wide sidewalk.
Concept 1 - Buffered Bike Lanes
  • 5 ft wide bike lanes with 2 ft striped buffer.
  • Parking would be maintained on both sides of the street.
  • Bike lanes match bike infrastructure east of Vandeventer Ave.
Additional Details
  • This concept is an inexpensive option to reallocate pavement space to bike facilities along Lindell Blvd. while increasing travel lane and parking lane width to meet standards and increase usability for vehicles.
  • Can be achieved with paint only, with limited concrete bump outs at Euclid Ave.
  • Parking stays in place at the curb.
  • This option is less attractive to bicyclists with less experience and confidence biking vs more protected options.
Estimated Timeline
  • This concept can be built in the next two years.
  • Concept would include repaving. Maintenance would continue on Lindell Blvd until full repaving can be completed with the proposed road improvements.

Question Title

Concept 2 - Parking Protected Cycle Track

Concept 2 roadway cross section consists (from left to right) of 8 foot wide sidewalk, 6 foot wide tree lawn, 10 foot wide two-way cycle track, 3 foot wide buffer, 8 foot wide parking lane, 10.5 foot wide drive lane, 10 foot wide center turn lane, 10.5 foot wide drive lane, 8 foot wide parking lane, 6 foot wide tree lawn, and 8 foot wide sidewalk.
Concept 2 - Two-Way Parking Protected Cycle Track
  • 10 ft wide two-way parking protected cycle track on the south side of Lindell Blvd.
  • 10 ft wide bus/transit island for bus stops on south side of Lindell Blvd.
  • Parking would be maintained on both sides of the street, while parking on the south side of the street would be separated from the curb by the cycle track.
  • Medians would be provided in the center turn lane at locations along the corridor to prevent it from being used for passing.
  • Bicycles would need to transition from bike lanes east of Vandeventer Avenue.
Additional Details
  • This concept offers significant protection for bicyclists while narrowing the roadway width dedicated to cars to create a more welcoming space for multimodal users
  • Cycle tracks are attractive to a wide range of bicyclists at all ages and experience levels.
  • Would include significant signage and physical barriers along the corridor to prevent vehicles from parking in the cycle track.
  • Would include transit islands for bus stops on the south side of Lindell Blvd so that buses stop in the travel lane and do not block the cycle track.
  • Special consideration would be needed for the parking lane and buffer to accommodate accessible parking on the south side of Lindell Blvd which would be separated from the curb by the cycle track.
Estimated Timeline
  • This concept would likely require federal funding to be built, which can take 6-7 years to complete. Construction is estimated to be completed by 2032 if the project is federally funded.
  • Concept would include repaving. Maintenance would continue on Lindell Blvd until full repaving can be completed with the proposed road improvements.

Question Title

Concept 3 - Parking Protected/Buffered Bike Lanes with Parking Removed

Concept 3 roadway cross section consists (from left to right) of 8 foot wide sidewalk, 6 foot wide tree lawn, 6 foot wide bicycle lane, 4 foot wide buffer, 10 foot wide drive lane, 11 foot wide center turn lane, 10 foot wide drive lane, 9 foot wide parking lane, 4 foot wide buffer, 6 foot wide bicycle lane, 6 foot wide tree lawn, and 8 foot wide sidewalk.
Concept 3 - Parking Protected/Buffered Bike Lanes with Parking Removed
  • Parking would be removed on the south side of Lindell Blvd, while the parking lane on the north side of the street would be separated from the curb by the bike lane and buffer.
  • 6 ft wide parking protected bike lanes with buffer, parking protected on the north side of Lindell Blvd.
  • Bike lanes would match bike infrastructure east of Vandeventer Ave
Additional Details
  • This concept offers significant protection for bicyclists while narrowing the roadway width dedicated to cars to create a more welcoming space for multimodal users
  • Buffered and parking protected bike lanes allow extra safety and comfort as compared to a traditional bike lane.
  • This option would remove parking on the south side of Lindell Blvd. The remaining parking on the north side of the street would be separated from the curb by the bike lane and buffer.
  • Would include significant signage and physical barriers along the corridor to prevent vehicles from parking in the cycle track.
  • Would include transit islands for bus stops on the north side of Lindell Blvd.
Estimated Timeline
  • This concept would likely require federal funding to be built, which can take 6-7 years to complete. Construction is estimated to be completed by 2032 if the project is federally funded.
  • Concept would include repaving. Maintenance would continue on Lindell Blvd until full repaving can be completed with the proposed road improvements.
