You know those scary narrow bike lanes on Lake Austin Boulevard between Exposition Boulevard and Red Bud Trail? Improvements are coming.

A project to widen the existing bike lanes and improve stormwater drainage on the route begins today and should be complete by fall, according to Nadia Barrera, bicycle/pedestrian project coordinator for the city of Austin.

Bring it on!
