The city currently offers three primary types of cycling infrastructures. View the different types in the images below.

Class I Bicycle Path
Class I: Entirely off street offering the highest level of riding comfort and safety. The City’s Orange Blossom Trail offers miles of class I riding through the City.
Class II Bicycle Path
Class II: Designated by painted stripes, signs and painted bike symbols.
Class III Bicycle Path
Class III: Designated by sharrows and offers many miles of riding on streets with lower traffic speeds or volumes.

Orange Street Bike Way

The Orange Street bikeway project will install a class I off-street bike path along Orange and Pioneer streets connecting the Redlands and Highland cycling networks and providing a convenient route for Citrus Valley High School students to commute by bike. The approximately $4.5 million project is jointly managed by Highland and Redlands and is 96% funded by grants from California’s Active Transportation Program and the Transportation Development Act.

Estimated year of completion is 2020.

MSRC Grant Project

This project will add approximately 16 miles of class II bike lanes to the City’s bike grid. Streets were selected for inclusion in the project based on priority routes identified in the City’s 2015 Bike Master Plan. The $250,000 project is jointly funded by a grant from the South Coast Air Quality Management District’s (SCAQMD) Mobile Source Air Pollution Reduction Review Committee (MSRC) and the City’s subvention fund. Installation of the bike lanes is being coordinated with the PARIS paving program.

The project is expected to finish in 2017.
