As the Ringling Trail complete street construction project wraps up, the new protected bike lanes are getting a coat of green paint to alert bicyclists they are approaching an intersection or potential conflict point. The bright green also will remind drivers to stay in their travel lane and not attempt to drive in the protected bicycle lane.
Already, the bike lanes are offering safe connectivity for commuters and avid cyclists between The Legacy Trail extension at Payne Park and downtown — and beyond!
We’ll be sharing more information about the Ringling Trail soon. Stay tuned!
