Community Invited to Meeting for Proposed Resler Bike Lane Project

The City of El Paso's Capital Improvement Department has scheduled a community meeting tonight, Monday, April 11^th to present the final design plans for the Resler Buffered Bike Lane project.

This $325,800 project is part of the City of El Paso’s commitment to enhance El Paso’s comprehensive regional transportation system and consists of the development of a buffered bike lane along Resler Drive from Helen of Troy Drive to Belvidere Street in both directions of travel. The following bicycle facilities are included as part of the project:

A 6-foot or greater bike lane with a 3-foot buffer
Restriping existing travel lanes to accommodate a safe bicycle lane
Intersection striping
Bike boxes and green paint for conflict areas

As part of the project, new "Bike Boxes" will be implemented at the intersection of Resler Drive and Redd Road. A bike box is a designated area at the head of a traffic lane at a signalized intersection that provides bicyclists with a safe and visible way to get ahead of queuing traffic during the red signal phase.
