On-Street Linkages in Fayetteville

E-mail Print PDF

chevronBike Lanes are Coming to Fayetteville!
To create a active transporation network, a city must create the sort of On-Street Linkages  that encourage cyclists to brave mixed traffic.

This map  http://bconwa.com/images/On-Street.pdf  shows streets that are already ready for bicycle-specific improvements.  If you'd like to see the priorities changed, or recommend other routes, please let Matt Mihalevich know at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it  

Click here to listen to an Ozarks at Large Radio Story about Sharrows on Fayetteville Streets.

Thanks to actions resulting from the Fayetteville Forward Summitt held last March, the City of Fayetteville will be budgeting for about 8 miles of bicycle-specific improvements per year.
