At a special public meeting held Saturday, April 1, the City of Phoenix announced its plan to convert a busy portion of Central Avenue in downtown Phoenix into a bikes-only corridor.

The plan will permanently convert all existing traffic lanes along Central Ave. into bike lanes. The announcement is the newest phase in Phoenix’s B-2100 plan to convert all existing roads into bike paths by the year 2100. Phoenix Diablo has learned that initial plans were drawn up during a secret private meeting at the Grid station at Civic Space Park back in January.

Construction on the new lanes should be completed by tomorrow.

“This is part of a concentrated effort to make Phoenix the least walkable city in America,” said Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton. “We really think the biking community will be excited about this.”
Downtown Phoenix has an active biking community that has continued to grow alongside the city. Misha Larks of Phoenix Handlebars People said she’s excited about the announcement.

“Central Avenue has become a very busy road in recent years,” Larks said. “We hope this plan will convince the thousands of Valley commuters who work downtown to start biking to work instead.”
But not everyone is riding along with the new plan.

Some members of the public who attended the announcement meeting expressed concern regarding how this new plan would affect parking downtown. To counter this point, the city announced its intent to make all parking lots downtown bike-exclusive by 2019.

“There is plenty of free, convenient parking available downtown,” said PHX BikeLab founder John Romero. “I’m glad the city of Phoenix spoke out about this very real issue.”

Bike enthusiast Peter Perspiration said he loves the idea of phasing out a major thoroughfare in favor of bike lanes.

“It’s the most efficient form of transportation,” Perspiration said. “It gives people more transportation options, this is one of the major achievements of Phoenix.”

  28. I’ll never forget the night I won my very first big win. It happened on neospin — a platform I joined out of curiosity. I put in only $50 and within an hour my account shot up to over a thousand. I didn’t believe my screen. I cashed out right away and the funds arrived the next day. From that moment, is my go-to casino. It’s not only chance — it’s about choosing the right place.

  42. Greetings. I am Celine. Not so long ago, my whole world collapsed.
    My boyfriend at the time betrayed me, drained my life savings, and escaped to Paris.

    I was left completely broke. Despite that nightmare, I made a choice to learn about digital assets.

    That is when I discovered the Paybis platform.

    Paybis helped me rebuild from zero.
    The main advantage of Paybis is its simplicity for beginners.
    It provides immediate payouts, minimal commissions, and 24/7 customer support.
    Making smart financial decisions became a breeze with them.

    By using Paybis, I recovered my wealth and became financially independent.
    Eventually, I met an wonderful guy who treated
    me right, and we tied the knot. He is a rich entrepreneur,
    and surprisingly, he also uses Paybis too! He uses it to manage crypto operations
    for his business because of its unmatched reliability.

    If you need a trustworthy crypto platform, Paybis is simply the best way to go.
    It changed my destiny!
