It is where a Class <br />II bicycle facility exists between the curb and a general traffic lane, or <br />in some cases there is just a shared lane marking (“Sharrow”) on the <br />roadway. The shared bus-bike area is illustrated with green dashed <br />conflict striping instead of solid green markings. The bus will encroach <br />into the shared zone to board and alight passengers. Some places, like <br />in Montreal, Canada, there are two sets of sharrows, allowing bicyclists <br />to either continue straight through the conflict zone or go left around <br />a stopped bus. This is typically used when there is limited right of way <br />available and if the preferred treatment is a bike lane or a shared lane. <br />Typology #2: Constrained Facility <br />Where either a Class II bicycle lane or a Class IV separated bikeway <br />exists, and there is not sufficient space to include a floating bus island <br />(FBI). It is a constrained bus stop adjacent to a bike lane or separated <br />bike lane where the bike lane is elevated to sidewalk height at the FBI. <br />The bike lane is crossed by people walking to access the bus, and it <br />does not have parallel parking on the street. The raised area reduces <br />conflict with vehicle traffic, and there is a bicycle ramp to elevate bicy- <br />clists to sidewalk height. This typology provides a designated pedes- <br />trian crossing zone and bicycle yield area across the bicycle facility to <br />reduce conflict with passengers boarding and alighting. This is typically <br />used when there is limited right of way available and the preferred <br />treatment is a separated bike lane. <br />Typology #3: FBI with Bike Lane and Parking <br />This typology has some similarities with Typologies #1 and #2, with the <br />key difference being that it has a FBI and there is parking on-street <br />adjacent to the curb with a tapered bike lane between the parking <br />and the general purpose lane. The bike lane jogs behind the floating <br />Typology #1: Shared Facility (Standard Bus Stop) <br />Typology #2: Constrained Facility <br />Typology #3: Floating Bus Island with Bike Lane and Parking  <br />  <br />City Council 32 – 145 6/4/2024
