The City of Irvine is making “improvements” to the City’s bicycle infrastructure with the construction of a Class IV separated bikeway (Cycle Track), reserved for use by bicyclists with a physical separation between the bikeway and travel lanes. Work is currently underway on removal of the class II bike lanes for construction of separated cycle tracks on Cadence, between Chinon and Radial, through Tuesday, November 12, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Access to area residences and businesses will be maintained. The work will generate noise and travel lanes may be shifted or reduced to one-way traffic with flagging operation. No full closures are anticipated; however, drivers (and cyclists, obviously) are advised to take alternate routes.
If you ride down Cadence, expect impatient speeding motorists to want you out of ‘“their” way! The Cycle Tracks are not mandatory use like Bike Lanes are, so we can choose to use the full NARROWED travel lane.
For more information, concerns or comments, please email pm@cityofirvine.org or call 949-724-6676.
