Challenges

Safety and Enforcement

  • 85 bicycle crashes from 1997-2000, many along Elkton Road (16), Delaware Avenue (13), Main Street (14) and College Avenue (13)
  • Crashes are clustered around several intersections: Elkton/Casho Mill Road, Elkton/Veterans Lane, Elkton/Apple Road, Elkton/Amstel Road, South College/Park Place, South College/Main Street, South College/Delaware Avenue, South College/Academy, and South College/Haines Street
  • Speeding traffic on area roads makes conditions more dangerous for cyclists
  • Dangerous behavior by cyclists and drivers difficult to enforce
