An alternate route, however, has been approved.

Instead, cyclists will be diverted from Broadway onto Avenue B and Alamo Street.
In addition to the $42 million that will be used for repairs to Broadway from Houston Street to Hildebrand Avenue, $6 million was approved for the bike lanes as a separate project.
The full City Council must still approve the tax increment reinvestment zone funding for the bike lane project on Avenue B to move forward.
