Santa Rosa cyclists are starting to see more bike facilities on some of the city’s busiest throughways, which city leaders credit to ongoing work to improve transportation opportunities.
Drivers and riders on Mendocino Avenue may have noticed new bike parking racks placed at different points along the throughway, particularly closer to downtown and near the heaviest trafficked part of the business corridor. The racks, built in an upside down “U” shape, are intended to offer cyclists new options in the public right-of-way. These are part of the city’s improvements between 4th Street and 10th Street, completed as part of the city’s Capital Improvement Program project which included pavement maintenance and new Class II bike lanes, along with similar work on several other downtown streets.
