Welcome The New Bike Lanes!

The Central Avenue Corridor Improvement project is a transformative project for cyclists, pedestrians and motorists alike. The improvements were implemented along Central Avenue from Walden Avenue to Pleasant Avenue. Funding for the project was awarded to the Village through a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) as part of Erie County’s Smart Growth program.

Bicycle lanes, made possible through a process known as a road diet, is the most notable improvement. A road diet simply takes the distance between the curb lines on an existing roadway and repurposes the space between the curb lines. This process serves two advantages, it improves the safety of all traveling public, by reducing the width of vehicle travel lanes which naturally calms traffic & reduces speeding, and it allows for bicycle lanes to have their own dedicated lanes separate from other vehicles.

These improvements are managed through pavement striping along the road. The new striping delineates each feature of the roadway including a single lane of vehicular traffic in each direction, a bicycle lane in each direction adjacent to the travel lanes, as well as vehicular parking. This encompasses over ¾’s of a mile of new bicycle lanes between Walden and Pleasant Avenue.

Some area that has caused some confusion is the northbound lanes on Central Avenue approaching Walden Avenue. The photo of the bicycle with the double chevron is called a sharrow. The outermost lane (curb lane), north on Central Avenue at Walden Avenue, has one of these marked on the roadway. The sharrow indicates the lane is shared and is to be used by both bicycles and vehicles to assist traffic flow at the intersection.
