Following the biking death of its budget director, the Durham City Council is considering funding vertical protection to separate bike lanes from cars on the road.

ORANGE COUNTY AS WRAL'S DESTINY. PATTERSON REPORTS CYCLISTS SAY THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING. >> THIS IS ONE OF THE LOCATIONS WHERE REFLECTIVE PLASTIC BOLLARDS WOULD GO UP IF CITY COUNCIL APPROVES THE FUNDING TO GET THE PROJECT STARTED HERE IN DURHAM, THE COST IS ESTIMATED AT MORE THAN $198,000. A LARGE PORTION OF THAT MONEY WOULD COME FROM A FEDERAL GRANT. I'M GLAD IT'S COMING TO FRUITION. THE PROPOSAL COMES JUST ONE WEEK AFTER CITY BUDGET DIRECTOR IN RENAISSANCE MAN, JOHN, THE WAR WAS KILLED WHILE RIDING HIS BIKE IN ORANGE COUNTY. IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE THAT JOHN IS GONE AND A LITTLE MORE THAN A MONTH AFTER CYCLISTS KNOW AGO YET WAS THROWN FROM HIS BIKE IN DURHAM DUE TO PEOPLE ILLEGALLY PARKING IN THE BIKE LANE. A PROBLEM. HE SAYS HE'S REPORTED TO THE CITY'S DURHAM. ONE CALL SERVICE SYSTEM, AT LEAST 20 TIMES OVER THE LAST 6 MINES. THE FACT THAT IT EVEN HAPPENED, IT BLOWS MY MIND. THE NORTH CAROLINA TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDS PHYSICAL SEPARATION FROM VEHICLE LANES ON STREETS AVERAGING MORE THAN 6,000 VEHICLES PER DAY OR AVERAGE VEHICLE SPEEDS AT OR ABOVE. 35 MILES PER HOUR. THESE FLEX POSTS PROTECTING AND BIKE LANES IS REALLY. >> A TEMPORARY SOLUTION. ORGANIZATIONS LIKE BY DURHAM HAVE OPENLY DISCUSSED THE NEED FOR MORE BIKER AND PEDESTRIAN SAFETY IN THE CITY. SPECIFICALLY BY IMPLEMENTING A RE COMMITMENT TO THE VISION 0 PROGRAM, WHICH AIMS TO ELIMINATE TRAFFIC FATALITIES

<p>NOW FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS AFTER A PUBLIC HEARING TODAY, THOUGH, IT'S ONE STEP CLOSER TO GETTING BUILT. WRAL'S MONICA CASEY HAS THE STORY. &gt;&gt; THE DURHAM CHAPEL HILL CARRBORO METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION CONTINUES TO GATHER PUBLIC INPUT ON HOW TO MAKE THIS BIKEWAY ACCESSIBLE FOR EVERYONE. &gt;&gt; JULIAN MIKKO, NISMAN SPEND A LOT OF TIME WALKING AND MIKKO JUST BOUGHT A BIKE TOMORROW. FINALLY BE ABLE TO EXTRACT. THEY LOVE THE PLAN FOR THE TRIANGLE BIKEWAY WHICH WOULD RUN ALONG THE I-40 AND 54 CORRIDOR FROM CHAPEL HILL TO RALEIGH SETBACK FROM THE ROAD AND MOIST WOULD BE BETTER TO TASSIE CASTEEL. ALSO A FAN OF THE 23 MILE PATH. &gt;&gt; I ACTUALLY I HAVE TO TAKE THE BUS OR BIKE PLACES AND IT WOULD BE AMAZING TO BE ABLE TO GET ON WITH HER. ALL THE NONPROFIT BIKE DURHAM IS IN FAVOR OF THE PATH. BUT EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR JOHN TALMAGE, THESE OTHER NEEDS CLOSER TO HOME. WE HAVE A LOT OF STREETS AND NEIGHBORHOODS. &gt;&gt; THAT DON'T HAVE SAFE SIDEWALK CONNECTIONS PROTECTED BY SCHOOL. CONNECTIONS LIKE THIS ONE ON EAST MAIN STREET. HE WANTS CONNECTIVITY IN THE BULL CITY. FIRST, WE DON'T WANT TO SEE OUR LIMITED DOLLARS EXIST TODAY. 2 HAVE THAT. WE PROBABLY OVER A LOT OF THESE LOCAL NEIGHBORHOOD CONNECTIONS, DURHAM COUNTY COMMISSIONER WENDY JACOBS TELLS ME FUNDING COULD COME FROM MULTIPLE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS AND EVEN THE STATE. A LOT OF THE BIKE. &gt;&gt; PEDESTRIAN CORRIDOR WILL BE BUILT WITHIN AND C DOT RIGHT AWAY, WHICH WILL SAVE US. A LOT OF MONEY. THE BOARD WILL VOTE ON FINAL APPROVAL FOR THIS PROJECT AT ITS NEXT MEETING ON JUNE 8TH. &gt;&gt; MONICA CASEY, WRAL, NEWS DURHAM. &gt;&gt; AND THE BIKEWAY WILL STILL BE SUBJECT TO APPROVAL FROM OTHER BOARDS AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS.
