Original Post:

Implementation of Bike Lanes along Semmes Avenue is to begin on November 8th. The work is expected to last two months. The project will cost $280,000 in both City and state funding.

The bike lanes will not be protected bike lanes. Protected bike lanes use planters, curbs, parked cars or posts to separate bike and auto traffic on busy streets. The bike lanes will use paint to define the bike lane and protect cyclists from fast-moving automobiles.

You can review the full plans on the city’s website and the press release below.
