City of Greenville Bicycle Master Plan
Encouragement Safe Routes to School program support Bicycle to School Day Bike to Work Week Bike Mentor Program Bicycle Rideabout Enforcement Targeted enforcement Bicycle licensing program Targeted positive reinforcement of safe bicycling behavior The plan additionally suggests that municipalities pursue Bicycle Friendly Community designation, which the City of Greenville has since achieved. The plan also identifies support facilities as a primary concern for local residents and area cyclists. In response, the plan recommends the following support facilities: Comprehensive route system Share the Road signage Use of the Bicycle Level of Service model for bicycle planning Improved maintenance Bicycle-sensitive intersections Prevention of roadway symbol build-up Safety railings along bicycle facilities Increased bicycle parking The LRTP used eleven weighted criteria to prioritize the proposed bicycle infrastructure improvements. The eleven criteria were: Public suggestions Proximity to schools Proximity to parks Proximity to libraries Proximity to greenways Proximity to transit routes High poverty households (Traffic Analysis Zones) High number of households without access to a vehicle (Traffic Analysis Zones) Population density per acre Projected population density per acre of proposed bike lanes, wide outside lanes, four-foot paved shoulders, paved greenways and unpaved greenways are included in the final network map. (There are no four-foot paved shoulders recommended within the City of Greenville.)
