Winter Bike Routes Snow and Ice Response Pilot

The goal of the pilot is to better connect the network of lower-stress on-street biking options that are accessible during the winter. Due to staffing limitations, these segments will be cleared at the end of snow response operations for medium (three to eight inches of snow) and large (over eight inches of snow) storms.

These segments are viewable on the interactive Snow and Ice Response map and include:

• Connection between 19th Street and 26th Street via Upland Avenue and Tamarack Avenue – provides low-stress connection that avoids construction on 19th Street.
• 15th Street south of Iris Avenue – provides continuity to 13th Street GreenStreet and complements new enhanced crosswalk at 15th Street and Iris Avenue.
• Juniper Avenue east of 26th Street – provides access to Elmer’s Twomile Path.
• Old Tale Road and Gapter Road – provides continuity in the low-stress bike network east of Foothills Parkway and access to US 36 regional bikeway.

Please share your experience traveling these routes this winter. Your thoughts will help inform the future of this program.
