Adding bike sharing options, creating protected bike lanes,
upgrading crosswalks, and creating safer, more walkable
streets are important components of any plan to
alleviate traffic. These upgrades provide a sustainable, healthy
way to get around during peak traffic hours by making it easier
and safer for people to bike and walk. The result is a small but
notable impact on the amount of congestion on arterial roads.
