Bike New London Assists City with Bike Lane Planning
Members of Bike New London's Maps and Routes Committee
were invited to meet with the Public Works Department, City Planner, City Council Transportation
Committee members and other officials in September 2010. We assisted the City in research
and compliance with State and Federal (AASHTO) requirements for Bicycle Lanes, Bicycle Routes,
pavement paint markings and signage.
These improvements will benefit cyclists, pedestrians, and motorists in the City of New London.
Montauk Avenue is nearly complete with new pavement, new signage, and new bicycle lanes for
its entire length. This is a great example of cooperation between municipal authorities and
transportation advocacy groups!
