City bike lanes

 by Martin Hull of IBI Group

1. Move parking lane to the other side of the road
2. Widen cycling lane by two feet; allow bike traffic to flow both ways
3. Place sticks to the left of the lane to prevent parking
4. Allow the party to begin

Solution: bike lanes

Revisions

Revise reinterprets an urban design through illustration – with your help. How can you — reader, artist, thinker — solve this design problem? Can you come up with a more engaging, more functional, more imaginative solution? Next American City magazine hopes to receive a wide variety of responses — from viable concepts and smart solutions, to creative (or ridiculous) impossibilities.
