What are these painted bicycle
pictures on our streets?
They are "Shared Lane Markers" or "sharrows". The Doylestown Borough public works department has completed a project to paint sharrows throughout borough streets in an effort to remind motorists of the shared nature of our roadways. Additionally, these sharrows assist bicyclists with lateral positioning in a shared lane with on-street parking or when there is not sufficient room for both cars and bicycles to travel in the same lane. Sharrows will help encourage safe bicycling and encourage safe passing of bicycles by motorists. We encourage you to explore our sharrow labeled roads on your next bicycling journey. Click here for a sharrow map. Click here for more technical info.
What are the little markers on the
storm drains?
Storm water runoff pollution is one of the greatest threats to our region's waterways. This occurs when rain or melted snow flows over impervious (“watertight”) surfaces, such as driveways, sidewalks, and streets. In a built-up town like ours, this runoff picks up oils, litter, chemicals, and other pollutants on its way into storm drains. It is then discharged into the waterways we use for swimming, fishing, drinking water and more.
Storm Drain Markers are adhered to pavements and curbs adjacent to storm drains (sewer inlets) and serve as a visual reminder that only rain should go down the storm drain and discourages dumping. The metal markers shown are being purchased by Doylestown’s EAC and we are seeking donations to implement the program through-out the Borough. They will be installed by the Borough Public Works Department.
Please consider making a simple $5.00 tax-deductable donation (or more) to purchase storm water markers. Click here to order.
