FAQs
What is an all ages and abilities bike facility?
The answer to that question is in the name! An all ages and abilities bike facility is bicycle infrastructure that can be used safely and comfortable by people off all ages and abilities. This includes school-age children, seniors, women, people of color, people with disabilities, and confident cyclists. Not every all ages and abilities bike facility looks the same. The specific design of an all ages and abilities bike facility will vary based on a street’s vehicle volumes, vehicle speeds, and other attributes.
See the National Association of City Transportation Officials’ (NACTO) webpage for designing for all ages and abilities for more information.
Where is funding coming from?
Funding for the Lincoln Street Bike Project is a combination of federal Highway Safety Improvement Program and Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program (CMAQ) funds. The City of Eugene is providing the local match required for the federal funds.
Will the project remove parking?
Yes, the design for Lincoln Street will remove 13 on-street parking spaces on the east side of Lincoln Street between 11th Avenue and 13th Avenue. A few other on-street parking spaces near the intersections of 7th Avenue, 6th Avenue, and 5th Avenue will likely also be removed to accommodate intersection changes. The exact amount of on-street parking removal near these intersections will be determined in the engineering phase of the project.
