2010 saw addition of bike lanes
Austin cyclists got 11 new miles of improved bicycle lanes in 2010.
Nadia Barrera of the city’s Bicycle Pedestrian Project sent over this chart, which shows the ever-increasing number of miles of bike lanes in our city.
Back in 1998, when I moved back to Austin from McAllen, Texas, we had about 60 miles of improved bike lanes in the city. Today we’ve got more than 170 miles.
In the last year, the program also distributed more than 5,000 bike maps and completed Waller Creek Bridge at Fourth and Red River streets, completing a longtime gap in the Lance Armstrong Bikeway.
