Create a north access road from Farmers' Loop Rd. to West Ridge. Bycicle Circulation Bicycles are used increasingly throughout the year on the Fairbanks campus. Many students, faculty and staff enjoy opportunities to commute to work or access campus facilities by bike. Despite growing use of bicycles, there are few designated trails on campus for their use. The only major exception is the bike trail on the west side of Farmers Loop Road.
Some cyclists use walkways on campus or ride across plaza areas to avoid vehicular traffic.
Bike lanes should be developed on major campus access and circulation roads. Safety and convenience of use shall be major design criteria for new bike trails. Trails shall be permanently surfaced, landscaped, and lighted. Signage shall be provided about bicycle routes. Storage areas shall be provided on campus for bicycles.
