Advocates line bike lanes in Ohio City to emphasize the need for more protected lanes
CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – Activists will be lining the bike lanes in Ohio City to show support for separated bike lanes in Cleveland.
In a release from Bike Cleveland, the organization says the City of Cleveland installed plastic bollards on a section of the Detroit Avenue bike lane in Ohio City to enhance street safety.
In an attempt to call attention to the work and push for more action, Bike Cleveland and supporters are gathering at West 33rd Street and Detroit Avenue to line the bike lanes in the area.
“By lining the bike lane with supporters, we aim to show our appreciation for the recent improvements while emphasizing the urgent need for more separated bike lanes across Cleveland,” the organization wrote in their release.
The press release states that 46 people have been killed in crashes in Cleveland this year, a more than 40 percent increase from this time in 2023.
