Here's a sign of progress on Euclid Avenue, demonstrating that cyclists and motorists can work together to create options for individuals and communities. The street sign photograph is a clear signal that motorists need to be prepared for cyclists and share the road. Interestingly, the signs that cyclists and buses share the road confirms the informal policy, that cyclists can share the otherwise exclusive bus lanes, for instance those on Superior Avenue. This policy was also expressed by RTA officials, in a presentation to "Meet the Bloggers" at a midtown Cleveland event, hosted by Webtego. To hear RTA officers commenting on bikes in bus lanes, or the Euclid Corridor project, go here.
Share the Road, It's the Law!

Hooray for bike lanes
Marc Lefkowitz Says:Hooray for Ohio's first urban bike lanes—the dedicated, curb-side painted lane on both sides of Euclid Avenue from E. 107th Street to E. 22nd Street. This is a major victory for all cyclists and I for one cannot wait for the day we'll have a dedicated bike lane. I hope the lane comes with a public education component —maybe as part of driver's education if it isn't already explaining how to 'Share the Road' as a driver.
Just a quick question, Kevin, you mention sections of road where bikes and buses will share the curbside lane, i.e. Superior Avenue downtown. My understanding is the bus lane on Euclid Avenue runs in the center (with boarding stations in the median) and the bike lane is curbside the whole way. So, there won't be any shared bike/bus lane on Euclid, right?
