JOHN McGOVERNTrip Overview, Climate, and Bike Facility Design
BARB CLINTThe Midway
Why I wanted to go to the Winter Bike Congress?
Vision: An Interconnected
Bike Boulevard Network
Utilizing historic infrastructure
Former streetcar rights of way become better bike lanes
Streetcar Routes Today
Excess traffic capacity exists all over town
Draws from experience elsewhere…
D.C.: Pennsylvania Avenue
New York: Allen Street
New York: Queens Plaza Cycle
Existing
Proposed
Cleveland’s Approach
Historic Street Car Network
60 – 80 miles…the first protected bikeway network in the country
Current Conditions – St. Clair Avenue
Rendering depicting “feel” of the Midway
But how would we maintain it?
Slide 79…clear and homogeneous routes make Maintenance easier
# 82 mini snow plows
# 85- space for snow
# 92- need for clear and well-publicized Snow removal policy
# 155: winter is a mindset
# 173: Oh, yeah…I found another Barb Clint!

WHAT IS THE LEADING INDICATOR OF DEPOPULATION IN US CITIES?
1. Average January temperature
2. Education
3. Median age
4. Housing costs
WHAT IS THE LEADING INDICATOR OF DEPOPULATION IN US CITIES?
Temperature is a more reliable predictor of urban growth than education, especially in older cities.

WHY IS OUTDOOR WINTER DESIGN IMPORTANT?
WHY IS OUTDOOR WINTER DESIGN IMPORTANT?
ECONOMYJanuary temperature is the leading indicator of depopulation in U.S. cities. Retail and dining districts suffer from decreased foot traffic and perceived inactivity during winter months.
HEALTHSeasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a mood disorder associated with changing seasons and can take on many of the same symptoms of depression. SAD affects 10 -20% of the national population.
CULTUREA climate-responsive city offers greater opportunities for social inclusion and expression of authentic local character.
PROBLEM
Representations and design strategies in architecture and urban design are often dominated by idealized imagery from warmer seasons, marginalizing the unique design opportunities that winter weather cities present.
This absence of relevant examples and formative discourse demands a call to action.

The Center for Outdoor Living Design (COLD) curates a growing archive of compelling visions for cold climates intended to challenge common perceptions and kindle an appreciation of urban life in all seasons.
COLD is dedicated to improving livability in cold weather cities by inspiring design professionals, city officials, business owners and local residents to creatively engage the built environment year-round.
GOAL
This goal was accomplished in 2013 through four inaugural year projects:
COLDSCAPES: New Visions for Cold Weather Cities international design competition
COLDSCAPES.org ARCHIVE a public online gallery of inspirational design projects
COLD EXHIBIT an outdoor demonstration project in Cleveland, OH
COLDSCAPES Urban Infill Vol. 6 the next volume in the CUDC book series
