Join us. We need to work together to hold PennDOT accountable for designing safer streets. Yesterday, a bicyclist died as a result of a crash on West Carson Street. This stretch of road lacks a safe bike route because PennDOT prioritized fast-moving vehicles over people. Don't let this happen to your streets again. Make sure ALL of Fifth/Forbes is safe for everyone. Attend tonight's meeting and RIDE WITH US in protest of preventable traffic deaths and in support of safer streets. Tonight: Wednesday, August 31st Meeting time: 5:00pm Ride gathering: following the meeting (around 6:30pm) Location: 5034 Forbes Ave, Cohon University Center, Room: Rangos (2nd Floor) Ride will meet at The Cut on Forbes & Moorewood, CMU side.

Craig St. to Beeler St., including proposed bike lanes. The bike lanes will link up to the lanes east of Margaret Morrison St., and possibly, to future bike lanes westward through Central Oakland and on to Downtown. Please show up on Wednesday to have your voice heard. Safety on Forbes Ave. came to the forefront last fall with the death of Susan Hicks, who was riding her bike home from the University of Pittsburgh, where she worked. Demonstrating the need for safe, connected bike infrastructure throughout Oakland is critical. PennDOT officials will present the two-part project, which will include pedestrian-crossing enhancements at Forbes Ave. intersections, and the repaving of Forbes between the Birmingham Bridge and Beeler St., including new lane configurations. The safety improvement projects are scheduled to take place beginning fall 2017 through summer 2018.
