Grand Rapids cyclists may find the city even more bike-friendly with the planned addition of bike lanes. /Joshua Duggan
This week, Grand Rapids announced plans to add 26 miles of bike lanes across the city within the next year. This came alongside some long-term plans, too: officials want to add 17 miles of bike lanes each year until 2017, eventually giving cyclists a 100-mile network of bike lanes.
The first phase of the project, which will add 16 miles of lanes, starts this week. The second phase will see the remaining 10 miles added in the spring. The expected completion date is within nine months and, if approved by the city commission, will bring the total miles of bike lanes in the city to 33.
