Data to Design: Using Continuous Safety Monitoring to Guide Safer Streets
Join Miovision for an in-depth webinar with Shane Sullivan, City Transportation Engineer and Connor Harron, Communications and Outreach Coordinator from City of Bellingham Public Works where they share their journey of using Miovision Continuous Safety Monitoring to transform bike lane utilization on Holly Street.
Using iterative safety improvements they took a busy corridor serving 90,000 residents and over 400 cyclists daily, into a safer, more accessible roadway. Learn how the City moved from a pilot project to permanent safety interventions using data-driven insights to diagnose risks and validate design changes.
In this webinar, we will cover:
-
- The Safety Challenge: How the City identified low rider confidence and visibility issues caused by parked cars, utilizing near-miss data to pinpoint “right-hook” conflicts as a critical risk.
- Iterative Countermeasure Implementation and Evaluation: A deep dive into the evolution of bike lane utilization on Holly Street, detailing the implementation of bend-ins at Phase 1, and bend-outs, turn wedges, and hardened edge lines during Phase 2.
- Impact: A look at how these interventions led to an 87% bike lane utilization rate and a 33% increase in bicycle ridership along the corridor.
- Public Communication: How the City utilized video content to educate residents on new roadway layouts and safety features.
- Best Practices: Discussion on best practices for conducting near-miss analysis with Miovision Continuous Safety Monitoring.
