Estimated Percentage of Protected Bikeways Swept Annually

(Percentage version) This is a measure of the Protected Bike Lane sweeping cycles completed annually.

The Austin Parks and Recreation Department has 14 Bicycle Fix-it Stations at Parks and Recreation facilities all over Austin in an attempt to help promote healthier, more active and sustainable lifestyles for community members of all ages and backgrounds. These stations are free for the public to use in helping to make minor repairs to their bicycles.

The Growth Concept Map assembles compact and walkable activity centers and corridors, as well as job centers, and coordinates them with future transportation improvements. These centers and corridors allow people to reside, work, shop, access services, people watch, recreate, and hang out without traveling far distances. Within them, the design and scale of buildings and the design and availability of parks and gathering spaces will welcome people of all ages and abilities. They will be walkable, bikable, and connected to one another, the rest of the city, and the region by roads, transit, bicycle routes and lanes, and trails. The activity centers and corridors included on this map identify locations for additional people and jobs above what currently exists on the ground. Unlike more detailed small-area plan maps, the Growth Concept Map provides broad direction for future growth and is not parcel specific. Centers that are already established by existing small-area plans, such as those for East Riverside Drive or Highland Mall, are drawn to reflect those plans. Centers without small-area plans are simply shown with a circle, indicating scale and general location. Specifying boundaries for these centers may occur through small-area plans or general guidelines for implementing this plan.

Purpose: This data exists in order to track the number of cycles swept annually of protected bikeways. Source: Completed Protected Bike Lane reports are received from ATD. ARR then tracks internally the number of sweeping cycles completed.
Contains: The linear miles (measured in curb miles) of protected bikeways swept by street sweepers. Curb miles represent the length of streets along the curb. Since bikeways can be one-way (one side of the street) or two-way (both sides of the street), curb miles count full distances (a two-way bikeway will measure both sides of the street, i.e. both curbs). Curb miles that were swept are counted monthly, and can exceed the available curb miles when bikeways are swept more than once in the same month. Available curb miles are counted quarterly. Usage: This data set can be used in determining budget and resource allocation. In addition, it is used to track how many full sweep cycles are completed in a given fiscal year.

The Bike Facilities data will serve as the authoritative data for any bicycle infrastructure-related reference and analysis. The Bike Facilities data includes all existing facilities, their level of comfort, as well as recommended facilities and whether they belong to the All Ages and Abilities Network. The data is created from an export of the Comprehensive Transportation Network, and it can join back to it through the Bike Facility ID field.

This data is a representation of the existing bicycle facilities and includes those facilities recommended in the 2009 Bicycle Master Plan.
