CLEAR LAKE PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLIST STUDY
PUBLIC MEETING ONE: ISSUES AND EXISTING CONDITIONS
About the Project The Houston Bikeway Program, within
the Department of Public Works andEngineering, is partnering with the Houston-
Galveston Area Council to conduct a
bicyclist-pedestrian study of the Clear Lake
Area.
The focus of the study is to develop
priorities to address the safety and mobility
needs of pedestrians and bicyclists within
the Clear Lake area of Houston as funding
becomes available. The limits of the studyarea are El Dorado and Space Center
Boulevards to the north and northeast, IH-
45 to the west, and NASA Road One in the
South.
Take the SurveyIt’s easy, fun and will help determine
what kinds of bicycle and pedestrian
improvements are made.Use one of the available computers or

Areas with higher concentrations of vehicle crashes can be perceived as unsafe for
pedestrians and cyclists. Between 2003 and 2009, automobile crashes have been
concentrated along Bay Area Boulevard where high trafc volumes and many driveway
openings increase potential conicts. Pedestrian and bicycle crashes are moreconcentrated near the CCISD schools, likely due to the high percentage of walking and
biking usage in that area.
Within the study area trafc volumes increase closer to IH-45, with Bay Area Boulevard
and NASA Parkway carrying the most trafc. These high volume thoroughfares provideaccess to many activity centers but can also serve as barriers to walking and biking.
Trafc signals can provide safe places to cross major roadways but are not always located
near destinations.
