Description: An inventory of connector streets in the City of Philadelphia prepared by the Planning Commission and vetted by the Streets Department and Mayor’s Office of Transportation and Utilities. Connector streets are defined as streets connecting existing bicycle facilities. Connector streets do not have existing bicycle facilities, such as lanes, sharrows, or safety signs. Connector streets are designated on the Bicycle Map of the City to show routes between existing facilities to complete the bicycle network. The connector street designation is based on connecting potential as well as the status of the street in the Pedestrian and Bicycle Plan (2012) as a recommended or “bike-friendly” street. The data is still in draft form and will be updated by PCPC. Relevant attribute field descriptions“ONEWAY”: is the “RecFacil”: is the recommended facility type in the Pedestrian & Bicycle Plan “Combined_S”: is the designated street type in the Pedestrian & Bicycle Plan Time Period for which data is relevant: 2012
