A project aiming to make Columbia a bicycle and pedestrian friendly place for residents and visitors is up and running. It is called “Shared Streets,” a program developed by the Greater Columbia Chamber of Commerce’s Leadership Columbia Class of 2014-2015.

As part of their project, the 60 Leadership Columbia class members are installing new shared lane bicycle marking, known as sharrows, and bike racks all around downtown Columbia, beautifying the Taylor Street side of the Lincoln Tunnel along the Vista Greenway, and introducing a new mobile app that will promote the different local transportation options and routes connecting The Vista, Main Street, and Five Points.

“Shared Streets” will unveil the changes to the Lincoln Tunnel on April 18th.
