While there has been a lot of imprecision and vagueness to the discussion of cycling and neighborhoods, Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson's capital budget includes a wealth of specifics on bike projects in Cleveland and its neighborhoods. 

Here is the list of bicycle lanes and paths that were included in the Mayor's plan, prepared by the Planning Department staff. The note includes work schedule for 2008-2010, as well as the location and cost estimates. It’s too early for design plans and there are lots of steps before implementation, as the City will need to take care to ensure that the specific plans enhance cycling opportunities and are consistent with best safety practices. Even so, it’s an encouraging development.
