Crosstown Greenway Pilot Project
Background
A Neighborhood Greenway is a street with low motorized traffic volumes of less than 3,000 vehicles per day and speeds of 20mph or less, designated and designed to give bicycle and pedestrians travel priority.
The Crosstown Greenway is a designated bicycle route and Neighborhood Greenway from the 2013 Key West Comprehensive Plan and the 2019 Bicycle Pedestrian Master Plan. It stretches from Reynolds and VonPhister to Duck and South Roosevelt Boulevard running parallel to Flagler.
The City of Key West is implementing a 6-month phased pilot project to improve mobility along the Crosstown Greenway. As a part of the Bicycle Pedestrian Master Plan, it was suggested that early projects use Tactical Urbanism, a method that involves using temporary pilot projects and low cost features to judge the effectiveness of design. The City partnered with the urban planning firm Street Plans, the originator of Tactical Urbanism.
The Project
The Community and stakeholders met and Street Plans and the City created a phased project. Phase I will be constructed on November 20-22, 2020 and will feature a Bike Box at Reynolds and South Curb Extensions on 5th, Chicanes (Offset curb extensions) on George, Cross Bikes at 3rd, 7th, and 12th.
