In this project, these local residents would be encouraged to bike more, which is the purpose of this project. The concept, Improving riders' confidence and comforts and identify the hierarchy of bike lanes would be used. The on-street parking would be removed, separated buffer would be placed, high-quality surfaces of bike lanes would be placed and spaces of bike lanes would be widened.
