. Background Info
Structural Challenges on the GGB
• The bridge has narrow sidewalks with multiple challenges (Tower areas are only 5.5-7.5’ wide and have abrupt turns, other areas are only 5’ to 10’ wide. Other challenges include metal plates, poles, chain link fence sections, metal transition bumps, sudden width changes, overhanging railings, high noise levels making verbal warnings more difficult, etc.)
• High speed bike traffic is routed to sidewalks instead of roadway (and the roadway has extensive expansion joints with slots wide enough for bike wheels to drop in).
Resulting Issues
• Crashes
• Congestion
Related Causes
• Wind
• Slippery spots
• Speed, rider error
• Lane usage, stopping in lane
• Lack of markings
• High usage
• Tourists mixed with commuters/athletes
