Learn more about how we get thereBikeways provide clear benefits to the users of them, but often provide additional benefits to those who travel along the same corridor. Examples include traffic calming and reduced speeds of vehicles which lowers the risks and severity of crashes along those corridors. Including additional elements like greening along bikeways provides multiple benefits, like more protection to the bicyclists, helping to capture rainwater before it enters the stormwater system, creating habitat for birds and other small animals, and providing visual interest for people traveling along the corridor, no matter the mode of travel.
Design protected bikeways to accommodate access to the curb for the mobility impaired, working directly with the Minneapolis Advisory Committee on People with Disabilities and the broader disability community to test and monitor designs.
