» Ensure that bicycle projects are programmed in your Capital Improvement Program in order to complete important bicycling-related projects, particularly off-street bicycle paths that cannot be completed as part of resurfacing or other Complete Streets-style projects.
» Continue to expand programming related to Bike the Boro in order to grow the event and provide exciting options for people in the community who do not normally bike to experience a safe and inviting bicycling experience. Work with businesses and other community stakeholders to expand programming in ways that are relevant to those stakeholders.
» Continue to implement your Bike Plan. Begin Phase 2, which will bring 8.2 miles of new bicycle facilities including
1.6 miles of bike lanes to Springboro. Celebrate the successful implementation of Phase 1 with events that highlight the key results of Phase 1.
» Work with local bicycle groups and interested parents to develop and implement a Safe Routes to School program for all schools.
» Your community has very few people choosing to bike to work. Without robust alternative measurements of the safety and comfort of your bicycle network the low number of people who choose to bike to work weighs against your community reaching a higher award level. Collect robust data on actual bicycle use to support future planning activities.

Expand & Maintain the Bicycle Route Wayfinding SystemAdd wayfinding signs for new bike routes in Settler’s Walk neighborhood. Establish maintenance program to replace damaged, missing, obsolete, and worn out signs.
Expand Local Web Resources Work with regional partners such as Bike Miami Valley to create web resources that address pedestrian and bicycle issues and provides a dashboard that track progress on local and regional goals. The website should provide an interactive experience where users can explore existing and proposed facilities, comment on things they would like to see in future plans, and report maintenance issues.
Coordinate with Park PlanningRecognizing the demand for recreation based pedestrian and bicycle facilities, work with City Staff and the Parks Board to integrate the recommendations included in the Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan into park planning. This would include bringing existing park pathways up to current design standards, expanded interpretive and wayfinding, and a strategic implementation plan coordinated with the City’s Capital Improvement Plan.
Complete Streets + Vision Zero OrdinanceAdopt policy that places human life paramount and establishes that safe, comfortable, convenient, and accessible transportation for all users is a priority for the City. Then establish the necessary inter-departmental coordination, roles and responsibilities, and performance measures to implement the policy. Additionally, update 2001 thoroughfare Plan to incorporate bikes.
Develop an Americans with Disability Act Transition PlanAssess the existing pedestrian network for ADA compliance. Develop a system to respond to complaints of inaccessible routes. Implement proactive measures to eliminate barriers to key public destinations within the city.
Manage Autonomous Vehicles & Micromobility Device Space & UseDevelop policies and plans to for AV vehicle pick-up/drop-off zones in the downtown and guidelines for private commercial areas. Develop a policy to restrict nuisance parking and unnecessary travel of AV’s during down times. Define what class e-bikes, and what micromobility devices may be used on pathways and bike lanes.
Expand Organized Rides & WalksExpand the existing walk and ride program to incorporate family and kid oriented programs. Develop new educational bicycling and walking tours such as the successful Underground Railroad tour that explore the City’s historic and natural places. Hire a summer intern to manage the expanded program and promote through the City’s social media.
Establish Citizen Support GroupsFor natural area preservation work, specialized bicycle facilities, and trails, establish citizen and corporate “adoption” and “friends of” programs to help improve and maintain the parks and facilities. The City should promote and recognize these groups and provide the volunteers and organizations with the tools and resources they require for their volunteer efforts.
Natural Area PreservationWork with the City’s Parks Board and Tree Authority to develop a program with professional support to identify, restore, and preserve natural areas in the City. This would include reduction in invasive species, waterway erosion issues, and water quality enhancement programs. The program would engage citizen support groups for major work efforts.
Continue Regional Trail CoordinationContinue to work with adjacent communities to establish a 17 mile loop that incorporates the proposed Springboro Central Greenway, Clear Creek Trail, Great Miami River Trail, and the Great-Little Trail. Also continue to improve the existing bike routes to the Little Miami Scenic Trail.
Establish Permanent Bicycle and Pedestrian Counter ProgramAs major facilities such as the greenway and separated bike lanes are implemented, place permanent counters at strategic locations. For greenways use counters that can distinguish between different types of users.
Expand Bike Parking ProgramContinue the existing bike rack program to make sure that convenient bike parking is available at existing all shopping, civic buildings, and public parks. Require bike parking that follows the Association of Pedestrian and Bicycle Professional Guidelines for all new developments.
Proposed Network & Plan
New Facility Education & OutreachUse the completion of a new project as an opportunity to introduce the public to the new facilities in a controlled environment of a special event and raise awareness on how to safely use something that they may not be familiar with. Also use temporary banners to help people understand how to interact with new on-street bicycle facilities.
Education Paired with EnforcementAs new and unfamiliar facilities come online there will be confusion on issues such as who yields to whom. Initial action should be education based with no penalty that provides information on why they were stopped. After an introductory period, focused enforcement should be employed as needed.
Work with the City of Franklin to
provide trail connection on the city’s right-of-way

Bicycle Friendly Community AwardReapply for the Bicycle Friendly Community Award. The Bicycle Friendly Community program provides guidance on how to improve conditions for bicycling and make your community a better place for bicycling. The City of Springboro was presented with a Bronze Medal in 2016.
Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) InnovationV2I technology should be employed at conflict points between micromobility and motorized vehicles. V2I technology should be capable of passively detecting micromobility and pedestrians with the ability to transmit to smart vehicles and activate warning beacons as well as perform traffic counts. These devices should be integrated into the city’s proposed high-speed fiber network and smart road plans.
