The Washington Avenue Shared Lanes Project will install shared lane bicycle markings along Washington Avenue from South Pointe Drive to Dade Boulevard in the outside travel lanes adjacent to the parking lane. The new pavement markings are also intended to make motorists aware of the fact that they must share the road with bicyclists. The City is also planning to install shared lane markings in other city locations. The next shared lanes will be installed along 44 Street to provide a connection between Muss Park, Pine Tree Park, and the existing bike lanes on Prairie Avenue and Royal Palm Avenue.The intent of these project is to improve bicycle safety by encouraging bicyclists to ride: Promotional Banner
