VAIL TOWN COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO

ITEM/TOPIC:   Bicycle Dismount Zones Discussion

PRESENTER(S):   Gregg Barrie, Senior Landscape Architect

ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL:   Discuss the considerations and options provided in the staff Memorandum and provide direction to staff on next steps.

BACKGROUND:   The pedestrian areas of Vail Village and Lionshead can feel congested at times.  During those times, the speed variation between pedestrians, bicycles, electric bicycles and other new forms of transportation such as Segways, scooters and hoverboards can create what feels like less-than-safe conditions.  It has been suggested that “dismount zones” in village areas could offer a solution.  The purpose of this agenda item is to discuss options around dismount zones and to offer other potential solutions
