| dbo:abstract |
In the early 1990's the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) created the state's first full-time bicycle and pedestrian program. Utilizing funding provided by the federal Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) of 1991. Lou Rossi, as Director of the NYSDOT Transportation Planning Division, played a central role in getting the program started, and hired Jeff Olson as NYSDOT Statewide Bicycle and Pedestrian Program Manager. In the first year of the program, Rossi proposed that NYSDOT establish a signed network of on-road bike routes across the state as a catalyst for becoming a more bicycle-friendly state. Working with the support of NYSDOT Commissioner John Egan, he collaborated with all 11 NYSDOT Regions and 13 Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) to define the potential routes. The top priorities were to establish a route from Albany to Buffalo to complement the developing Erie Canalway Trail (and to provide interim connections for gaps in the trail), and to sign a route from New York City to Montreal along the Hudson and Champlain Valleys. The routes were numbered to align with the existing state highways that crossed the state, but were located on a combination of roadways that provided the best available conditions for bicyclists. The east-west route became known as Bike Route 5, and the north-south route was designated Bike Route 9. In an effort that brought together communities across the state, more than 1,000 miles of signage for both routes 5 and 9 was installed within two years by teams of NYSDOT staff. A cross-state celebration ride was held in the summer of 1994, with teams of riders carrying water from the Hudson River and Niagara Falls to meet at Sylvan Beach in the middle of the state. (photo provided) By 1996, NYSDOT adopted the first Statewide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan, which included a mapped network of signed routes connecting across the entire state. The route network was implemented over time, and NYSDOT provided maps of the system. For many years, the map for the Erie Canalway Trail included both the off-road trail and the on-road connections along Bike Route 5. New York became one of the first states to have a system of this kind, and it became one of the predecessors of the National Bike Route system currently being advanced by Adventure Cycling, AASHTO and others. The success of the NY State Bike Route system led to decades of projects across the state, including completion of the Empire State Trail in December of 2020. (en) |
