E4: Create the Six Mile Creek Bridge Plaza
Convert one lane of Plain St bridge into plaza over creek with benches, trail info, public art, and add a cycle track along plaza curbside.
B3: Cascadilla Street Protected Bike Lane
Pilot test a two-way protected bike lane on north side of Cascadilla St from Cayuga St to the new Greenstar, keeping in mind complex turning needs at Cayuga St and Northside-Southside route intersections.
A3: Pilot Test Cayuga St Protected Bike Lane (IHS to Lincoln St.)
Pilot test protected bike lane (either two-way or one on each side) and improve connection to IHS-Boynton Trail.
C3: Improve Major Crossings of Plain St Bike Boulevard
Chip seal or repave Plain St along most of this stretch. Improve intersection safety by adding diverters, painted bicycle lanes, and traffic signals where needed.
D2: Redesign & Add Wayfinding to Foot-of-West-Hill Bike Facilities
Simplify and make safer connections between W MLK Jr and Hector St bike lanes to CWT, BDT extension, and potential Elm St bike lane (Project D1). Add wayfinding signage to make these connections even more visible.

Add diverters to encourage vehicles to use Albany and Cayuga Streets for thru-traffic. Create 11+ foot wide shared-use trail along creekside.
D4: Build State St Protected Bike Lane (Meadow St to Downtown)
Connect Downtown to West End with protected lanes or two-way cycle track. Remove double-yellow line and use parked vehicles to buffer bike lanes.
A6: Implement Traffic Calming on Tioga St Bike Blvd
Build a roundabout at Lewis St. Build and diverters at Farm St and Tompkins St to lower vehicle speeds to 20 mph and stop thru-traffic.
D5: Study & Pilot Test Downtown Ithaca Bike Circulation
Conduct a study focused on connecting the Fall Creeker, Waterfront Connector, Hill-to-Hill, and Six Mile Creek Trail together on existing downtown streets. Pilot test allowing slow bicycling (10 mph or less) along center of the Commons.
