CLEVELAND (AP) — Cleveland is planning to add more than 70
miles of dedicated bike lanes, trails and pavement markings by the end
of 2017.
The city’s sustainability chief tells The Plain Dealer
(http://bit.ly/1aFAyD7) the transportation upgrade aims to link every
neighborhood in the city to the bikeway network.
Planned additions to the network were announced Sunday at the advocacy group Bike Cleveland’s annual
meeting.
The
plan calls for more than doubling the amount of bike-friendly routes in
the city, with almost 45 miles of new bikeways over the next two years
and another nearly 26 miles in the two years after that.
Cleveland
currently has about 48 miles of bikeways. That includes 4 miles of
shared roadways, 10 miles of dedicated bike lanes, and 35 miles of
trails separated from the road.
