Katie Blackley / 90.5 WESA Nearly 200 people met virtually Thursday night to hear how the city of Pittsburgh plans to roll out its Bike(+) Master Plan, which aims to add 150 miles of bike infrastructure over the next 10 years. The city’s last bike plan debuted in 1999, when making cycling a broadly-used mode of transportation was regarded as something of a long shot. More than 20 years later, the number of bicycle commuters has quadrupled, while the general appetite for cycling even before the pandemic reignited public interest in bikes has jumped. The Bike(+) Plan notes that roughly one-third of Pittsburghers ride a bike occasionally, and that more say they would if they felt safe doing so. In a survey that preceded release of the plan, 73 percent of drivers said they would be “more likely to bicycle” if there were more protected bike lanes and streets with lower speed limits or less aggressive drivers.
