“We’ve really shifted our approach, to take a low speed local street and make it a safe place for everybody to ride," Chesston said. The project also hopes to reduce incidents between cyclists and drivers, who occasionally are at odds with one another. “If you look really closely at a bicycle you realize it’s not a car, so you need to treat it differently," Transit Cycles employee Sebastian Matthews said.“The more the better—safer routes, where cyclists don’t have to stop at every light or be stuck in traffic is better for everyone," Ian Hodges said.Adam Klepp is a reporter for KGUN 9.
