For Your Knowledge...

Orange County currently has more than 1,000 miles of bike lanes. In the city of Orange, there is approximately 40 miles of bicycle lanes. A large amount of these lanes are paved off-road routes that surround the city of Orange. Currently, there are a total of three different bike lanes in Orange County.

First, colored red are Class-1 off-road paved routes.

Second, colored orange are Class-2 on-road (stripped lanes).

Third, colored blue are Class-3 on-road (signed only) streets.

For the purpose of dealing with Glassell St. and Chapman Ave., Class-2 lanes are a must to ensure maximum safety. My proposal for new Class-2 bike lanes on these streets is highlighted in green on the image below to demonstrate where the new bike lanes should be placed.
