Tuesday, September 06, 2005New Cornwallis Road bike lanes Cornwallis Road, from Fayetteville Street to Highway 55 has new bike lanes. From the intersection of Cornwallis and 55, it's only a few hundred yards into Research Triangle Park, where the additional pavement width is already in place for more new bike lanes. The NCDOT contract was awarded in August to repave and stripe the section of Cornwallis from Hwy 55 to Miami Blvd, so by the end of the year, continuous bike lanes will run from Fayetteville to Miami -- connecting the American Tobacco Trail to RTP -- providing cyclists who work in RTP a safer route for their morning and evening commutes. To see this section of Cornwallis on a map, click here. Thanks to Mary Ross for supplying the pictures.  Friday, September 02, 2005Take the SmartCommute Challenge!
