Bike Lane Changes on Walnut Street	Print Issue
September 11, 2012, Volume 59, No. 03

As part of a citywide resurfacing project, the City of Philadelphia and PennDOT have shifted the bike lane on Walnut St. from the right side of the street to the left. This was done in accordance with a study conducted by the DVRPC, which found that moving the bike lane would reduce conflicts between bike and bus traffic. This switch has been implemented beginning at 33rd St., and in coming months will expand eastward to 30th St. and to the end of the Walnut St. bridge.
