Bicycle Access and Circulation

manufactured home dwelling on an existing lot (i.e., including subdivisions for such dwellings) shall
be served by an internal bicycle circulation system (including shared roadway lanes, widened
outside roadway lanes, bike lanes, shoulders, and/or separate bike paths) that permits safe,
convenient, efficient, and orderly movement of bicyclists among the following origin and destination
points within the development.

Bicycle parking facilities or areas near the primary entrance(s) of principal buildings (or the
buildable area of lots, for subdivisions);
b.
Any designated or planned bus stops and shelters; and
c.
Recreation facilities and other common use area and amenities.
The development’s internal bicycle circulation system shall also permit safe, convenient, efficient,
and orderly movement of vehicles between the development’s internal origin and destination points
and adjoining parts of an existing or planned external, community-wide bicycle circulation system
as well as any adjoining transit stations, bus stops and shelters, public parks, greenways, schools,
community centers, and shopping areas.

manufactured home dwelling on an existing lot (i.e., including subdivisions for such dwellings) shall
provide bike lanes within the development site and along the entire frontage of the development
site with an existing street where bikes lanes are called for by the Comprehensive Plan or other
Town-adopted plans addressing transportation (unless an existing bike lane meeting Town
