Speaker discusses the bicycle infrastructure for Lexington, KY.

Kevin Bloomfield is a fourth year architecture student and Gaines Fellow at the University of Kentucky, from Las Vegas Nevada. As a Gaines Fellow, he has worked on bicycle issues over the last year and a half, investigating various aspects of bike culture and urban infrastructure.
His senior Gaines Fellowship thesis project involves local case studies (Virginia Avenue, and Martin Luther King Blvd) in Lexington, and both the University of Kentucky and the city of Lexington's master plans for urban renewal in which he applies design thinking to develop a series of typology proposals for bicycle infrastructure.
The end goal is to propose a rubric of types (separated bike paths, sharrowed streets, bike boxes, etcetera) which depend on site specific variables (street width, population, traffic volume, etcetera), opposed to any individual condition.
