HomeMy Public PortalAboutBikeways Committee -- 2018-08-30 Agenda (2) Potential Small Projects
Spring bike week activities ( May 2019)
Distribute bike lights to seasonal employees - esp J - 1 students
Organize group bike rides in and between communities - Harwich — Chatham and
back; Chatham to Brewster and back; Brewster to Orleans
Trail user counts — OCRT
Try to identify a profile of users of OCRT and CCRT (to get an idea of who the typical
bicyclists are in each town (maybe develop a set of questions that we might pose to bike
shop owners)
Potential Long Term Projects
Possible South Orleans to Chatham Bike Route (roughly paralleling Rt 28) (based on
2009 Orleans feasibility study)
Construction Plans for Rt 137 Corridor - Harwich- Brewster
Document secondary on- road bike routes — that use safe routes and allow cyclists to get
around the four towns using CCRT and OCRT as hubs .
Create an actual map that could be funded by business ads that show good shops along
the routes - Chocolate Sparrow - Eat Cake for Breakfast - Snowy Owl
May be put up a screen with Google Satellite or Google Maps of area and map out good
routes
