BIKE INFRASTRUCTURE
New Bike Lanes – The first bike lanes of the 2009
construction season are installed on Wabash
Avenue between
Bareva Rd and
Hilton Rd. These bike lanes are
along the left side of the road to improve access for the residents in this
area. The lanes will further extend to the Cold Spring Metro Station and
West Cold Spring Lane .
New Bike Parking –
Baltimore has 2 new bike parking
facilities: The on-street bike parking in
Charles Village
and new bike lids at the West Baltimore MARC Station. The on-street
facility in Charles
Village converts a
vehicular space and provides parking for 10-12 bicycles. The bike lids
provide longer term parking to commuters at the MARC Station. The lids
effectively cover the bike protecting it from vandals and weather.
