PROJECT SUMMARY
Re-striping to install two-way cycle track on Duke Street and widen existing bike lanes on Chapel Hill Street.
Purpose
The planned two-way cycle track on Duke Street will provide a safe north-south bicycling connection in downtown Durham between Main Street and Chapel Hill Street. Pedestrian and bus rider safety will also be improved by narrowing driving lanes to discourage speeding and marking crosswalks. The waterline projects provide a low-cost opportunity to restripe these streets to improve bicycle and pedestrian safety in downtown Durham.
Location
- Duke Street - Jackson Street to W Main Street
- Chapel Hill Street - NC 147 On-Ramp to Pettigrew Street
Bike and Pedestrian Facilities
- two-way cycle track on Duke Street
- buffered bike lanes on Chapel Hill Street (vertical protection to be installed separately)
- bike boxes; two-stage turn boxes; bike intersection skips
- high visibility crosswalks
