City of West Palm Beach considering dedicated bike lanes on Flagler Drive

From West Palm Beach's website:

(West Palm Beach, FL) – What do you think about the idea of having separate, dedicated bike lanes along Flagler Drive?
      The city is looking at the idea of making a stretch of Flagler Drive the first roadway in the city to have separate, bike-only lanes.
      The portion of Flagler Drive being considered is from Lakeview Avenue to Banyan Boulevard.
      There are four driving lanes along that stretch – two northbound and two southbound.
      The idea is to redesign the road so there are two driving lanes – one northbound and one southbound. The remaining space would be converted into separate, dedicated bike lanes.
     Traffic engineers are hoping to have some preliminary research done by the end of the year.
     The project is the latest example of how the city is making major improvements to shift the focus away from cars and more towards alternative methods of transportation.

West Palm Beach Mayor Muoio and the DDA's Raphael Clemente recently returned from a trip to Copenhagen on a grant from the Knight Foundation to learn more about sustainable, walkable, and bikeable cities. Here is a short blog post from October 6th about that. At the 1:03 mark on the video below you see them in their Winter finest with Copenhagen in the background.
