Cycloplan Work by James Andrew, Landon Bouma, and Loren Terveen Presentation by James Andrew and Loren Terveen
Invented at the University of Minnesota • A “geo-wiki” • Allows users to • Plan routes • Customize routes • Discuss routes, road and trail conditions • Edit the network Cyclopath Basics 3
Collaboration • Share data with others • Transparency • Share new facility plans with the public • Provide a forum for the public to comment in a helpful way • Clairvoyance • If I build it, will they come? • Predict what happens when facilities change. • Inventory • Where are the good and poor cycling facilities? What Planners Want!? 4
Metropolitan Council and MnDOT staff identified potential • Received a FHWA grant from Transit for Livable Communities • Build a planning tool to work alongside Cyclopath Enter Cycloplan 5
Collaboration • Play with your own private Cyclopath map and system • Share your work with others that you invite • Transparence • Alert members of the public and others in the planning community to bikeway changes • Solicit meaningful input from cyclists on the condition of roads and trails and proposed new facilities Cyclopath to Cycloplan 6
Clairvoyance • Cyclopath can let planners analyze regional and sub-regional bicycling routes • Cyclopath will let planners analyze the impact on route preferences from changes in the bicycling network • Inventory • Cyclopath will be an added tool to help us test our knowledge of what facilities exist and what are planned Cyclopath to Cycloplan 7

Multi-agency effort dating back to 2000 • Considerable effort • Not adequately vetted • Difficult to maintain/update Manage Bikeways Inventory 21
Resolve Conflicts Between Bikeways Data and Cyclopath Data • “Community Source” Bikeways Data • Agency, City, County, Park Staff • Publish for public review • Publish Instructions for Bikeways Data Updates Bikeways Inventory Next Steps 29
Improve visualization and graphics • Customize routing analytics feature • Customize routing algorithm • Allow users to customize preferences • Develop several pre-set algorithms based on themes • Develop an online user guide for each feature of the tool • Conduct outreach Cycloplan Next Steps 30
Cycloplan Refinement Timeline: Now until March 2012 • Regional Bikeways Master Study (2012) • Will be a primary tool • Cyclopath (and Cycloplan) to be developed statewide in 2012 • To be used for MnDOT Bicycle Plan Cycloplan Next Steps 31
