The City of Corvallis Public Works Department has installed a buffered bicycle lane along a stretch of NW Spruce Avenue near the intersection with NW 9th Street.

The City’s newly adopted Transportation System Plan calls for buffered bike lanes to gradually replace existing bike lanes throughout Corvallis where appropriate and space allows. City officials say the installation on Spruce Avenue is the first of a number of similar projects outlined in the Transportation Systems Plan.
