Wheels on Windsor Pilot Project
DVRPC partnered with Narberth Borough and the Narberth Cycling Club to build a protected bike lane on Windsor Avenue as a 10-day pilot project. It demonstrated features of “complete streets” design (i.e. streets that accommodate all users and improve mobility), and ran from November 20 through November 30, 2020.
The pilot included installation of a two-way protected bike lane along Windsor Avenue, temporary removal of a left-turn lane at Narberth Avenue, and enhanced signage and pavement markings to remind drivers to yield to people walking and biking at intersections. The demonstration provided an opportunity to collect relevant data and community feedback with minimal cost and use of Borough resources. The pilot is the first step toward implementation of the bicycle network goals in Narberth’s Comprehensive Plan. Feedback and data from the pilot will help guide bicycle infrastructure priorities and possibly future pilots and projects in Narberth.
The Narberth project is a part of DVRPC’s new program, ExPo: Experimental Pop-Ups Program.
