City will present plans to make bicycle lane on King St.
This image from promotional materials for a public meeting Thursday night, shows what a protected bike lane on King Street will look like.
An informational meeting is scheduled Thursday night on a project to take one lane of King Street and turn it into a protected bicycling lane.
According to the city’s Bicycle Program website, construction on the King Street Cycle Track pilot project will start in September and be completed in November.
The cycle track, also known as a protected bike lane, will be on the left (mauka) side of King Street from Alapai Street to Isenberg Street. On-street parking will be moved into the second lane from the mauka curb and the protected bike lane will be between the mauka curb and the on-street parking.
Green paint will be installed in conflict zones, such as driveways and intersections, to caution motorists and bicyclists to potential conflicting traffic in those areas.
The city will provide updates on the project beginning at 6:30 p.m. at the Neal Blaisdell Center.
