I am beginning this petition in hopes of changing/enhancing the "walk your wheels" campaign as a method for easing congestion on campus. Most folks ride their bikes across campus to save time in some form or another. Therefore, walking bicycles will not aid in this endeavor.
I propose bicycle lanes along the major thoroughfares (ex. Palm Walk, Cady Mall, Forest Mall, Orange Mall) in order to direct traffic in a coordinated manner. Directional pedestrian lanes could also be helpful (as could staggering class times...). Most other college campuses include this feature and it only makes sense for ASU. With all of the efforts to increase sustainability on campus, this is the logical next step. All it would take is a bit of planning and some (eco friendly?) paint.
Thanks for considering my petition!
By the way, here is an article describing bike lanes on campuses. http://www.sciencedirect.com.ezproxy1.lib.asu.edu/science/article/pii/S0967070X02000288
I really never thought this would gain this much steam but here we are and it is honestly kind of surreal. My inbox is blowing up with your messages and the fact that so many of you are tired of tripping over bikes on Palm Walk just fuels me to keep pushing this forward because clearly we are all seeing the same mess every single morning.

ASU claims to be green but then makes us walk. biking is way more sustainable than driving around campus. get it done.

Finally someone said it. Trying to get to class on time while dodging people walking is a total nightmare. Just paint some lines already.

it makes no sense to make us walk our bikes across the whole campus. just let us ride in a bike lane and stop the congestion!
