Valencia College

College campuses are always filled with cyclists. Out of concern for the safety of its students and surrounding community, many college campuses have found ways to improve its roads. In-fact, one campus in East Orange County, not far from Chapman University, has its own college lane that serves to “help address the increasing traffic demand” in and around the campus. Specialized improvements to Valencia College’s Lane (VCL), includes,

- Addition of lanes to the existing two-lane sections of VCL.
- Signalization and intersection improvements.
- Special treatment and/or additional lanes at major intersections.
- Addition of sidewalks, bike lanes, and other safety enhancements.
- Landscaping upgrades, roadway lighting, and drainage enhancements.

Valencia prides themselves on this project and even includes a page about it on their website. This is yet another fine example of how bike lanes can better Chapman University and the community surrounding the campus.
