Sidewalks are not only alongside streets. Sidewalks are how someone reaches a property from the street

Foot paths are paths that are used to stay within a property.

Yes, and I’ve driven over it a bunch of times.

Remember that a primary goal is routing consistency. If you change from an 8 foot wide piece of concrete onto an 8 foot wide piece of concrete did you step off the sidewalk? If the directions say to turn onto the path is it something other than the sidewalk?

You can fix all 100,000 paths then. That ship has sailed.

For consistency. Look around and the same design is a sidewalk in nearly every other case across multiple counties. Be it a school, college or park.

The notable problem is actually signal. routing. The contra flow bus lane doesn’t make the signal for the road function as two way.

So for transit routing use busses need a second intersection to allow this routing.

And at 9th there is a bus only signal cars ever use.

It’s a bus only road. The SB road is for cars and busses

The unprotected NB road is busses only.

It’s like a cycle track, it’s a separate road for a separate mode but with only one paving being needed.

It was a busway from day 1. The federal definition is any short stretch of street for the exclusive use of busses.

The MARC map is wrong as well. It literally says the data can be wrong.

since there’s no bike facility on road, no lane, no sharrows one can assume the map information is wrong.

But since there’s a trail width path on both sides of the street can assume that it’s the map that has the wrong lane type entered.

Otherwise persuade MARC to update their map.

It means there’s biking facilities as the quote from ten years ago shows

So that color on the map can include a shared use path

It’s a marked bike route. There’s no sharrows, bike lane or the like. So the wide sidewalk is an official biking routs

KC doesn't mark 90% of shared use paths. The double width is the giveaway.

SB I-35 is closing in less than a month, for example

FYI- there's upcoming closures. they aren't putting signs up ahead of time

the official regional bike map does not mark this as a cycle path

This is reverting something which is not a cycle path. This individual and another are being picky when it suits them and not when it suits them.

There's only THREE cycle paths in all or urban KC. The rest must be removed or converted into trails per their standard

I referred to the Bartle camp trails map and removed all trails not on i nor not close to. I'm going to add everything from the official map, very few of which are on the map.
