Map from the Bicycle Master Plan Update’s “Cycle Zone Analysis,’ which was used to assess how constraints and opportunities for bicycling vary across the city. This analysis considered factors such as the quality of bicycle facilities, street connectivity, destinations, and topographical constraints and other barriers.

Inner neighborhoods, with their high degree of street connectivity and concentration of destinations, were rated as most conducive to cycling. Factors that negatively impact bicycling in Eastern neighborhoods include poor street connectivity, few alternatives to heavily-trafficked streets, and dispersed destinations. Western neighborhoods share similar challenges, but also have hilly topography as a constraint.
