Despite slow and hard-won progress for bike advocates across North America, says Next City writer Josh Cohen, there were plenty of victories worth celebrating in 2015. He details 10 such inspiring projects, mostly new protected bike lanes and street intersections along with the new Tilikum Crossing Bridge in Portland, Ore.
Next City is a nonprofit organization providing daily online coverage of the leaders, policies and innovations driving progress in metropolitan regions across the world.
In 2015, Cohen writes, "North American cities took some important steps with new, high-quality, physically separated bike infrastructure — the kind that helps more people feel comfortable riding, which in turn encourages DOTs to build more infrastructure, which then gets
more people riding, and so on."
Greater Cincinnati had a few biking wins in 2015, including still-protected
bike lanes on Central Parkway and Red Bike's
expansion into Northern Kentucky, and real progress on the Wasson Way and Oasis Line paths is expected this year.
