The city of Berkeley, California released its new Bicycle Plan in October. The plan includes a cycletrack network that would look right at home in Denmark.
"Berkeley could become North America’s first major city to build a comprehensive Dutch-style cycle-track network," according to a post on the Systematic Failure blog.
For the past two years, city staff has been developing a new Bike Plan []pdf], which is set to go before City Council in December. The plan would revolutionize cycling in a town with an already respectable bike mode-share. If approved, the plan would prioritize the construction of new cycle-tracks in the south campus area, and convert a downtown segment of Milvia into a cycle-track.
The article includes a few more comments on the bike plan as well as maps of the whole city and a close-up of campus at the University of California.
