Survey of Bicyclists Crossing I-71Survey of Bicyclists Crossing I-71

Survey of Bicyclists Crossing I-71 via Martin Luther King Drive or Lincoln/University Aves

In 1998, the City of Cincinnati installed a signed bike route along Lincoln and University Avenues (to encourage timid cyclists onto a lower speed/lower volume street) and restriped Martin Luther King Drive from Reading Road to Victory Parkway with a wide curb lane (creating space for faster cyclists to share a lane with motor vehicles).

In June 2011, the Department of Transportation and Engineering (DOTE) restriped M. L. King Drive with designated bike lanes based on recommendations of the Cincinnati Bicycle Transportation Plan, adopted by City Council in June of 2010.

We are seeking feedback from existing cyclists about their experiences before and after the re-striping of King Drive.

Thank you for your time and contribution to making Cincinnati a better city!
