How will the University Line impact cyclists?
January 2, 2025
Downtown: The University Line project does not include any new bicycle lanes in Downtown.
Uptown: Bicyclists traveling through Uptown will travel with traffic inbound on Fifth Avenue and with traffic outbound on Forbes Avenue. Most of the Uptown corridor will have protected bicycle lanes. When bicyclists travel between Uptown and Oakland, they will have a shared use path for both cyclists and pedestrians.
Oakland: Bicyclists traveling through Oakland will have a new, protected, bi-directional lane that will be replacing the existing contraflow bus lane on Fifth Avenue.
