Bicycle Safety

ESF encourages the use of bicycles as a green and sustainable form of transportation.

Our primary goals are to:

bikes

  • 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
