This 5.4 mile project includes new bike lanes, wider bike lanes where they formerly existed and enhanced sharrow markings where bike lanes are not feasible.  Beginning in downtown Minneapolis enhanced sharrows will be placed on LaSalle Ave S and as LaSalle becomes Blaisdell, cyclists will find wider bike lanes than were there previously.  On parts of 1^st Ave S. an entire travel lane was removed to make room for bike lanes and to allow parking.  In numerous sections along these one-way pairs, the conflict zones will be colorized,  creating greater awareness and safety for bicyclists and motorists.  

Preliminary striping for Green Bike Lanes on 1st Avenue.
