A whopping 5 whole blocks with lanes dedicated to just you. I guess you have to start somewhere.
well, 7 blocks.

You're right, you have to start somewhere and this was a logical start. I checked it out this morning - for 9:30 am it was being pretty well used - I saw a child riding his bike with his mom on a downtown street!

City is currently working on the Centre City (downtown and beltline) network with its (pretty great) group of consultants. The next route up for construction in 2014 will be decided by the end of the year and the full network plan will be completed by about February. I sit on the steering committee for this plan, so feel free to ask questions or provide some input. Cycling has a decent budget so we should be able to build rather assertively over the coming years to create fuller network downtown.

Next year, work will begin on updating the city-wide network plan.
