Kavanaugh Pop Up

At the request of the Hillcrest Residents Association, the City installed three sections of bike lanes on Kavanaugh as a pop-up, the 1300 block (Berry to Fairfax), the 1900 block (Ridgeway to Oak), and the 2200 block (Elm to Rose, Fig. 1).

Lessons Learned

1) Spontaneous feedback from individuals and organizations was overall positive.

2) Parking capacity was not a major issue.

3) We would need to trim some trees so that riders can stay in the lane (Fig. 5).

4) We would have to do outreach to help residents better understand what to do with their trashcans (Fig. 6).
