At a glance

  • What: the condition and connectivity of Grand Rapids bike lanes.
  • Where it stands: commissioners called several existing lanes disconnected, unsafe or unworkable and asked to fix them before expanding; a protected demonstration corridor and enforcement of existing lanes were floated.
  • Next: the November 4 workshop is meant to set priorities.
