Downtown Getting Bike Loop

I've been meaning to post this for a couple days now, so most of you have probably already heard about it. The streets of downtown Spokane are getting a 'bike loop' as several streets are being painted with bike lanes and 'sharrows.'

The new lanes loop around the downtown core from 4th Avenue to the south, Spokane Falls Boulevard to the north, Howard Street to the east, and Jefferson Street to the west. Here's the story from KXLY News.
