The Green Lane Project is a new effort from the Boulder-based organization Bikes Belong to develop “world class” bicycle facilities in six focus cities in the US. The six cities (Washington, Chicago, Memphis, Austin, San Francisco, and Portland) are poised to develop “dedicated, inviting spaces for people on bikes in the roadway”, such as cycle tracks and separated bike lanes.
Many municipalities and state agencies across the US are struggling to provide adequate cycling facilities on roadways that are safe and effective within the constraints of existing standards and regulations. The goal of the Green Lane Project is to build on the work of NACTO and its impressive Urban Bikeway Design Guide, expanding the knowledge base and technical expertise implementing innovative urban bikeways.
