Contra-flow Bike Lane – Boulder, CO

Posted by Infra on Thursday, August 13th, 2009

“Boulder, Colorado recently achieved the creme de la creme – Platinum bike status from the League of American Bicyclists so Streetfilms decided to pay the city a visit to get the scoop. Among the many bicycle amenities the city can boast, none spoke to us more than the contra-flow bicycle lane that runs three city blocks, connecting their popular Pearl Street pedestrian mall to a vital link of interconnected greenways. Streetfilms was impressed – and a little bit obsessed – by it.

Marni Ratzel, the Bike and Pedestrian Transportation Planner for GO Boulder met up with us to talk about the art of contra-flowing.”
