Our hometown Seattle will soon be eclipsed by another city (a more conservative one!) when it comes to bicycle infrastructure.

David Maki was skeptical, solicited input from some experts, […]

Long Beach, CA: Protected Bike Lane

Wednesday, February 2nd, 2011

This innovative, pilot project will create the first separated bikeway in Southern California, in Downtown Long Beach along Broadway and 3rd Streets — between Alamitos Avenue and Golden Avenue.

This will create an attractive transportation alternative for travel into downtown, including the 79 percent of downtown workers who drive alone to work each day. It also creates a more livable environment for the increasing number of residents who make downtown their home.
