Protected bike lanes may soon be coming to more roads in Fort Collins. Three upcoming projects - the Pitkin, Lincoln, and West Elizabeth corridors - are currently in the planning stages, with advocates and planners pushing for protected lanes.

The goal of protected bike lanes is to provide additional safety - both perceived and actual - to entice more people to ride.
