Bend is Planning More Bike Routes

The City of Bend has issued a report about the progress they are making on bicycle projects in the City. Transportation Engineer Robin Lewis says they finished some bike lanes on Colorado Avenue, and now they are looking at new projects to begin this year: "We currently don't have bike lanes on Riverside Boulevard, adjacent to Drake Park; the City's showcase park. A lot of people walk and bike in that area, but there's no bike lanes and we applied for a grant to both improve pedestrian crossing of the street as well as add bike lanes there and then wrap that into downtown.  There's missing bike lanes on Franklin Avenue." Lewis says they have received about a million dollars in funds from both the City and O-DOT to complete the projects by October of 2013.
