A 2010 League of American Bicyclists report ranked Detroit among the worst cities for bikers in the country, but new policies may change all that. The current push is part of a larger greenways effort supported by non-profit groups to connect neighborhoods with walking and biking paths.
Matt Helms writes, "City traffic engineer Prasad Nannapaneni said the bike lanes generally will be created using space from existing traffic lanes, with striping repainted to make room for 5-foot-wide bike lanes adjacent to curbs or parking lanes. Nannapaneni said most of this year's bike lane work will start in September."
