The City’s Comprehensive Plan, Intermodal Transportation Plan (ITP), and the Complete Streets ordinance strongly recommend streets be designed to accommodate safe and efficient bicycle travel/access. There are many locations in the city where safe and adequate bicycle travel and access are not provided or need enhancement. Proposed bikeway improvements will continue to improve and construct bike lanes in accordance with the ITP and the City’s Bicycle Plan, install bicycle lanes (where feasible) to close gaps on the existing on-street bike lane network, improve connections from on-street bike lanes to the Colorado Springs trail system and residential/commercial centers, and develop/implement improved signage to provide better wayfinding for bicyclists.
