The design team conducted alternative analyses for three optional typical sections: a two-way cycle track on one side, a two-way cycle track on the opposite side, and one-way bicycle lanes on both sides. Each option considered in-street versus raised bicycle facilities and the potential removal of turn lanes at intersections to improve safety and space efficiency. The three alternatives were evaluated relative to several metrics with connectivity, conflict points, and bicycle related safety considerations being some of the higher prioritized criteria. The two-way cycle track along the south side of W. Cameron Avenue was identified as the preferred alternative that is now being progressed through design.

Project complexities include an at-grade railroad crossing and design coordination with the Town’s Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project, which extends through one segment of the corridor. McAdams is proposing bicycle signals facilitate complex bicycle movements within the termini intersections and the conversion of one segment to one-way traffic to eliminate a travel lane and accommodate a new bicycle facility. 

Public engagement has played a central role in shaping the project. McAdams developed outreach materials, designed an online survey with graphics, and hosted both a pop-up event and a drop-in open house in collaboration with Town staff. To support informed decision-making, the team produced high-quality plan layouts and photorealistic renderings of each cross-section alternative. Community input gathered through this process is a key factor in determining the final design.
