Sacramento welcomes back bikes on K Street
Signs were erected this week welcoming bicycles to K Street Mall following a 23-year ban on bikes.
Bicycles were banned from the K Street Mall in 1987 when light-rail tracks wer einstalled.
The signs encourage cyclists to yield to pedestrians and designate the speed limit for bicyclists, among other warnings.
The City Council in November unanimously amended a city ordinance to lift the bike ban. It took effect Dec. 24, 2009.
“Creating greater connectivity for all modes of tranportation continues to be a top priority in maintaining a safe and reliable multi-modal transportation system for the city and the region,” Department of Transportation director Jerry Way said in a news release on line pay day loans. “This is another important accomplishment toward that priority.”
