November 5, 2019 - Town Council Discussion Summary

Staff presented a summary of findings to Council on November 5th which can be found by reviewing the Staff Memo and Presentation located in the Document Library on this page.

After the presentation, Council directed staff to pursue further investigation of a trial one way operation for the busy months in the summer, as well as look at the possibility of adding shoulder/bike lane striping along Vail Valley Drive with minimal to no widening.

Council was not in favor of relocating the path off Vail Valley Drive, nor in favor of creating a separated path that would move pedestrians closer to Hole #4 or #6. They also recognized that any significant widening of the road or attached path was undesirable.

Staff will return to the Council within the next few months with updated options comparing a trial one way scenario and bike lane striping along Vail Valley Drive, or a combination of the two. Please continue to check Engage Vail for project updates.


Advisory Bike Lanes Installed! During the two-month summer trial period, the town received significant positive feedback. Upon completion of the trial in August 2020, the Town Council directed staff to leave the ABL in place and plan on permanent installation in 2021.
