Result | n/a |
Remarks | NOT IMPLEMENTED - The mall areas and walkways are constructed for pedestrian use. If bike lanes were to be installed, it would cause problems, such as single-file bike lanes, and safety issues. Because of this, university administration have chosen not to implement this. |
Whereas | During peak hours, UT Arlington's walkways are crowded. |
Whereas | Some students on bicycles must weave in and out of large groups of people to get to their destination. |
Whereas | A separate pathway would be safer for both cyclists and pedestrians. |
Be It Further Resolved That | Bicycle lanes be installed on the walkway from Arlington Hall to Cooper Street and on the walkway from University Hall to the Engineering Research Building to create a safer environment for both cyclists and pedestrians during peak hours. |
