Idea #1: Green Bike Lanes

Green bike lanes have attracted the attention of cities nationwide. This implementation of the concept is being planned in Cupertino, CA at Apple's second campus in the city.


It’s time for green bike lanes to hit Spokane. While the city has been making great strides toward increased uses for pedestrians and bicyclists alike, each step forward has been marked by a half-step backwards; for example, Second Avenue was reconstructed without a bike lane, despite master planning documents stating that one was to be included. Regardless, green bike lanes would better demarcate the lane for cyclists and further reduce traffic speed.
