King Street Bicycle Lanes

What's Happening

The portion of King Street from Russell Road to Janneys Lane is scheduled to be resurfaced this fall.  In conjunction with the resurfacing project, the City is proposing to narrow the moving lanes to provide traffic calming and install bicycle lanes in both directions.   The City has received a number of requests from residents and civic associations for traffic calming along King Street.  This project is intended to slow vehicle speeds and provide a safer environment for pedestrians and cyclists as well as safer routes to the nearby schools.   Bicycle facilities are recommended for King Street in the City's Pedestrian and Bicycle Mobility Plan which involved an extensive public outreach process in the development of the Plan's recommendations. These bicycle lanes would provide a connection from the King Street Metro to the newly installed bicycle facilities on Janneys Lane.  The bike lanes would require the removal of parking along King Street from West Cedar Street to West View Terrace.  A public meeting will be held to gather community input regarding this project on September 18th at 7pm in the cafeteria at Maury Elementary.
