PRESENTER(S):   Tom Kassmel, Town Engineer

ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL:   Direct staff to move forward with the Advisory Bike Lane trial along Vail Valley Drive

BACKGROUND:   Vail Valley Drive is a narrow road that carries vehicles and a significant number of pedestrians who use the Gore Valley Trail.  Providing a safe, separate recreational facility for pedestrians has been a critical goal for the town.  After a year of public process and review of alternatives, staff has suggested moving forward with a summer trial of Advisory Bike Lanes for a portion of Vail Valley Drive.
