OMAHA, Neb. (AP) Cyclists in Omaha could be pedaling down the city’s first protected bike lane by May.
A proposed pilot program calls for bike lane infrastructure to be installed along a stretch of Harney Street that would run from 10th Street in downtown Omaha to Turner Boulevard near 31st Street.
Officials behind the “Midtown to Market Bikeway” say it would give city and private partners a way to gauge how popular such a lane would be, how drivers and cyclists use it and how it could be improved upon. If the pilot goes well, proponents are hopeful that it could be the first step toward a larger network of permanent lanes.
