Brisbane: Bayshore Bikeway construction

July 11, 2011 - 4:25pm -- colin

This great news is from the City of Brisbane's official website.

You may have noticed the changeable message signs along Bayshore telling of the upcoming construction work that will be taking place between July 11th - August 26th. The work that will be commencing on Monday involves the installation of a bike lane on Bayshore Boulevard from Valley Drive to the City's northern limits (Bayshore & Geneva).

The first phase of the Bayshore Bikeway Project was completed towards the end of 2008. Phase I involved the installation of a bike lane from the City's southern limits on Bayshore Boulevard to Valley Drive. The project was propelled by the City Council’s desire to reduce greenhouse gases and increase the safety for our citizens who walk or ride their bikes on Bayshore Boulevard. A total of $550,000 (87% of the project) was granted through the California Transportation Development Act to widen and smooth over the bike lane on Bayshore Boulevard, as well as install grooved pavement rumble strips and a 6” wide bikeway shoulder stripe for further safety.
