Happy Valentine's Day from us to you!

The west side of Battle Creek Rd SE between Foxhaven Dr SE and Eastlake Dr SE, alongside Mahonia Crossing, now has a shared use path. With this new grade separated bikeway connecting with the Woodscape Park Pathway, there is now a protected and safe way to travel running about 1/3 of a mile.

Thanks to our advocacy at the Bond Oversight Committee, Salem now has its first “Bike Box” at the intersection of Liberty and Trade. A bike box is a designated area at the front of travel lanes at stop lights that provide bicyclists with a safe and visible way to get ahead of stopped vehicles.

We mobilized the community to provided valuable comment to the Oregon Department of Transportation on their Urban Design Verification of the 99 E Corridor through Salem. Once upgraded, this corridor would serve as one of the key pieces of our proposed north-sourth crosstown corridor.

Right-hand turn lanes which cross bike lanes are a dangerous conflict point. Our advocacy prompted the City to put down more green paint at key intersections. This year, City staff painted key intersections increasing the visibility of people who bike.

The City of Salem received grant funding for its first electric mini street sweeper, which will open up new opportunities for safer bike infrastructure, like protected bike lanes. SBV identified the funding opportunity, encouraged the City to apply, and wrote a letter of support.

On Commercial Street SE from Oxford Street SE to Madrona Avenue SE the City installed new buffered bike lanes, a bicycle signal to cross Liberty Road S, and a rapid flashing beacon at Triangle Drive SE. This stretch is a significant step forward on our proposed north-south crosstown corridor.

2024 was a productive for Salem Bike Vision! In this thread, we highlight a few things we have been able to accomplish this year in #SalemOR.

We need your help for 2025 to be even more productive. If you can, please donate at salembikevision.org/donate

On this Giving Tuesday, we hope you will consider donating to Salem Bike Vision.

Your financial support is vital to creating a safer bike network in Salem. Supporters like you have allowed us to help the city get its first mini street sweeper and include over $20 million for bike infrastructure.
