The Smiley Administration in Providence has not removed any bike lanes; instead, it has added over a mile of new bike lane infrastructure since taking office. Current projects under the Safe Streets For All program aim to improve safety by upgrading existing bike lanes on Broadway, Fountain Street, and South Water Street to safer, separated, and more permanent designs. The program also includes broader safety enhancements for all road users in areas such as Olneyville Square, the West End, and several high-crash intersections across the city. The City’s approach to transportation safety is outlined in the Safe Streets Plan, which updates the 2020 Great Streets Plan with new data and lessons learned, aligning with the city’s comprehensive plan and Vision Zero goals. Mayor Smiley prioritizes creating a transportation network that is safe, reliable, and inclusive for pedestrians, transit riders, drivers, and cyclists, focusing on reducing serious injuries and fatalities while supporting economic development and neighborhood needs. More information and updates on infrastructure projects and community engagement can be found on the City of Providence’s website.
