Oakland is a city known for its beautiful murals. But what about painting a "mural" not on a wall--but on the street itself?

Some twenty advocates, planners and officials attended a ribbon cutting ceremony this morning for the opening of Oakland's first concrete, fully protected cycletrack bike lane. The lane runs along upper Broadway between Keith Ave and Brookside Drive, next to SR 24. "This is a great way to spend my third hour on my first day on the job," said Ryan Russo, Oakland's new DOT chief, during the brief ribbon-cutting ceremony. Russo, as Streetsblog readers are probably aware, came from New York's DOT to head up Oakland's new department. "This is emblematic of what Mayor Libby Schaaf and the community has decided it wants to do."
