Bicycle Boulevards

Cities all over the country are re-designing their transportation systems to include pedestrian, bicycle, and public transit accommodations. Here in St. Louis, the home of Trailnet, the Bike St. Louis network of routes just added another 20+ miles of marked routes through the city. One of the crown jewels of such city networks are the Bicycle Boulevards in Berkeley, California. The fine folks at StreetFilms.org put together the following video to showcase Berkeley's bike-friendly streets. The Bike Boulevards approach is an excellent way to calm traffic on residential streets, creating a safer environment for children to play and people to walk, in addition to accommodating people on bikes.
