Bicycle Safety
ESF encourages the use of bicycles as a green and sustainable form of transportation.
- Follow our efforts to make Euclid Avenue safer for bicyclists on Facebook
Our primary goals are to:
- Promote bicycle safety for students, staff and faculty
- Enhance bicycling infrastructure on the ESF campus, in transition zones from ESF to SU, and for commuting from nearby communities
- Foster a culture of bicycle awareness & action on campus and within our local community by engaging Syracuse University as well as the City of Syracuse and outlying communities
- Practice what we teach and learn in our classes at ESF to promote leadership and stewardship
- Provide education on best practices, hands-on safety training and learning opportunities
- Become a Bicycle Friendly University
Current and developing Bicycle Safety projects include:
Bike-Friendly Campus- Implement infrastructure to provide an official, safe and inviting entrance to the campus
- Despite widespread encouragement of bicycling to campus, there is not a safe/legal entrance to ESF's campus.
- Curb removal from the east end of Illick Hall would provide such an entrance
- Install signage to indicate ESF pathways are multiuse as well as cyclists responsibilities
- Clearly mark bike lanes where cyclists should ride on campus pathways
Bike-Friendly Transition to ESF Campus - Collaborate with Syracuse University and the City of Syracuse to implement bicycling infrastructure
- Work with SU to install a bike lane leading into a bike box from Sims Drive to the Comstock intersection to promote safe and legal movement of bicycles
- Work with the City of Syracuse and university neighborhoods to install clearly marked dedicated bicycle lanes on Euclid Avenue from Westcott to Comstock Street
- This is an incredibly important corridor from the University neighborhood where a majority of students, staff and faculty commute from
Feel free to contact us with any questions, comments and ideas!
