Safer Walking and Biking Options

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.
