In celebration of May is Bike Month our staff biked to Southside Park for a bike ride and picnic. On the way back the group rode the new separated bike lane on P Street.

“It was awesome to be protected from the moving traffic. Hopefully the new lanes will allow more bikers to feel comfortable commuting daily.” — Renner Johnston, Mogavero Architects Principal

Separated from vehicles on the road, these bikeways will allow people of all ages and levels to bike downtown. They will also improve pedestrian safety by increasing sight lines and reducing the number of travel lanes to cross. We need these all over town!

Here’s a great diagram, courtesy of the City of Sacramento on how the new lanes work:
