The Phoenix Street Transportation Department is proposing an update to the bike lanes on Thomas Road from 48th Street to 56th Street. The proposal calls for bike lanes on each side of the road with two driving lanes in each direction and a center turn lane. This project would create a balanced roadway with minimal traffic impacts.
