Priority Corridors
These are just a few of the selected high priority corridors in the future bike network. They range in bikeway type, complexity and cost, but combined will form a functioning bike network that will get Aquidneck Island on its way to a truly bikeable island community.
East Main Road
East Main Road has among the highest bike potential in Aquidneck Island. Many short auto trips here could be converted to bike trips, but this corridor has some of the most hostile conditions for biking. The East Main Road corridor has a complete lack of safe crossings and access to bus stops. Any project on this corridor must consider these multimodal needs.

West Main Road
With the highest bike potential on Aquidneck Island, this corridor has numerous destinations and serves many trips that could potentially be converted to bike trips. This corridor also has the highest vehicular traffic volumes on the island, and high posted speeds.

Ocean Loop
The Ocean Loop provides access to Fort Adams State Park and Benton Point State Park, and is a recreational and tourist attraction due to the great views it offers. It is considered a scenic route for both driving and biking. With some design adjustments, it could reach its potential as a bicycle destination for Aquidneck Island.
