The city is taking steps to build out a more comprehensive bike lane network to connect downtown destinations.
Cleveland will reveal plans for its first protected downtown bike lane in the coming months as it opens the proposal for a three-mile bike loop for public comment, reports Mark Oprea in Cleveland Scene.
“In its current rendition, the Loop would allow bike riders to pedal from Progressive Field along the Lorain-Carnegie Bridge to the West Side Market, up north to the future Irishtown Bend Park, then over the Detroit-Superior Bridge to Huron and Ontario,” Oprea explains.
The city has not indicated whether the proposed six-mile CLELink multiuse trail would be part of the plan. “Whether CLELink comes to fruition this year or not, a Loop trail would advance the overall goals of the Midway network, which includes the upcoming Superior Midway and the planned Lorain Midway, along with the Mandel Community Trail set to break ground this year.”
