Bike Superhighways 101
Wednesday, October 25 | 1:45pm – 2:45pm
As Alta is gearing up to usher in a new era of trail-based transportation, the development of Utah’s Trail Network is set to revolutionize the state’s commuting landscape. Fueled by a passionate community interest in trails and bolstered by the surging popularity of e-bikes and shared mobility devices, the demand for efficient, safe, and convenient biking routes has never been higher. Bike superhighways can fulfill these needs by providing more than just innovative pathways; they offer opportunities to craft experiences. In this session Emily Duchon and Dave Foster will discuss design criteria, alignment considerations, blending on-street segments with trail-focused stretches, and emerging tools for analyzing bike superhighway opportunities. Drawing insights from real-world challenges faced during superhighway studies in California, the session offers a glimpse into the complexities of implementation in the U.S.
Alta Speakers: Dave Foster, Emily Duchon
We look forward to seeing you there!
