Why a Bikeways Map?commonwealth_bicyclelane

A "bikeway" is a street or shared-use path either designed specifically for bicycle travel or with key design elements that support safe bicycle travel.

A bikeway may be a street with a bicycle lane, a street with shared use lane markings or a shared-use (off-street) path.

It is important to note that streets referred to as "part of the city's bikeway network" are different from other streets because they include some element that helps bicyclists feel safer while riding. Bicyclists are allowed on all streets in Alexandria, but not all streets may include design elements to improve real (or perceived) safety.
