We set a new record in 2024 for East Bay separated bikeways, with 110 projects now installed in total, including 30 this year between 11 cities.Â
Separated bikeways (also known as protected or Class IV bikeways) are on or along a street, and have some sort of physical barrier between them and car traffic, not only paint. These are distinct from multi-use trails which have a shared right of way with pedestrians. Cities throughout California were not officially allowed to build separated bikeways until 2016!
Scroll around and click/tap on the map below for details on many of these projects, then go bike them yourself and let us know what you think. Photos as well as links to additional info and videos are found in some of the project descriptions on the map.
We’re very proud to have played a role in achieving this regional milestone– each project requires coordination, feedback, and advocacy between many different groups. Keeping track of all the pieces is a large part of our work: if you’d like to support Bike East Bay so we can continue this momentum, you can make a donation here.
