Contraflow bike lane is when the bikes travel against traffic motor vehicle traffic. That is so here we are at the 13th Street contraflow bike. Lane bikes share the motor vehicle lane going northbound. They have their own lane, contra people going south, so we have a shared lango, a northbound and a dedicated bike lane physically separated going southbound.

It really is one of the spine, that's one of our north-south spines going through downtown. It brings bikes right where they want to be connecting from our retail corridor of downtown to the farmers market, which is one of the best things to do on the weekend.

This section of 13th street there are more bikes traveling in this quarter. Then there are motor vehicles, great bike parking all along it, particularly downtown.

It was controversial to us to put this contraflow bike lane in trade-offs of taking away parking or a motor vehicle. Lane are never easy, but this is a successful project that works for everyone.
