Path to bike lanes becoming concrete

Lawrence is on the right track to making its roads more bike-friendly, said David Harkey, transportation research engineer at the University of North Carolina.
"You've already identified the main connecting routes," Harkey said. "I think you're on the right track. It takes time though."
Last night at City Hall, Harkey presented information that he and other researches had gathered from other cities. Included in the presentation were ways to adapt roads to incorporate cyclists while maintaining their comfort level.
Through surveys conducted by KU Environs and the city's transportation plan, Lawrence has targeted potential streets that could accommodate bike lanes.
Earlier in the day, Harkey gave a similar presentation at Strong Hall to students in urban planning, public administration and engineering. The presentation was linked by video to other universities.
The results of the research showed that bicyclists were more comfortable using bike lanes and paved shoulders as opposed to shared lanes with widened curb lanes. The study also found that drivers were less likely to crowd the adjacent lane when a bike lane or paved shoulder was present.
"We're not just increasing the comfort level of the bicyclists, but of the motorist as well," Harkey said.
Jim Turner, a member of the Bicycle Advisory Board, said that he preferred separation of bikes and vehicles.
"The thing I like about bike lanes is that it legitimizes the cyclists," he said.
Finals conflicts abolished under amendments to Council rules
Kansan staff report
The University Council approved amendments to the University Senate Rules and Regulations which prohibit scheduling University events during final examination periods.
The calendar committee had granted exceptions for a men's basketball game scheduled on December 10, Stop Day, and a women's basketball game scheduled on December 14, a Sunday.
An amendment to Rule 1.3.7 provides an exception for events scheduled on campus between noon on Saturday and 6 p.m. on Sunday.
Rule 1.3.7 was also amended to read, "No other exceptions allowed."
The Council also heard a report by Gloria Flores, associate director of minority affairs, and Julius Williams, assistant director of minority affairs, about the Multicultural Resource Center and the multicultural course guide.
