Iowa City will soon become one of the most bicycle-friendly cities in the country.
The state’s fifth-largest city introduced several infrastructure projects that seek to improve access for bicyclists, the recommendations laid out in the city’s Bicycle Master Plan.
As the home of the University of Iowa, Iowa City sees its share of people on bicycles every day.
“In order to make these improvements efficiently, street bicycle facilities are most often completed in conjunction with other planned road improvement projects, such as surface replacement, reconstruction or new street installations,” the city said on its website. “Through this process, the city can close connectivity gaps in our network of bicycle facilities.”
The city has commenced work on the following projects: Burlington Street, South Dodge Street and new facilities such as bike turn boxes and signed bikeways.
