The City of Pensacola is making the downtown area more bicycle and pedestrian-friendly. New bike lanes are ready for use along North Palafox which is being transformed from a four-lane roadway into a two-lane multi-use roadway from Cervantes to Wright Streets. The outside lanes were converted into bike lanes and on-street parallel parking in both directions. Motorists and cyclists will share the travel lane on Palafox between Wright and Garden Streets. 40 new parking spots have also been added along North Palafox.
