Active transportation infrastructure makes our residents healthier and our community more livable.
Cycling, walking and running are great ways to stay active and explore your community. On-street bike lanes help you to share the road with other vehicles safely. They are indicated by line painting and signage. Whether you’re cycling or driving, be sure you know how to use and respect the lanes.
