Davis built its first dedicated bike lanes in 1967, a full decade before most U.S. cities had mapped a single marked route, and its commute share reflects 60 years of that compounding investment. By 2019 American Community Survey five-year estimates, Boulder ranked fourth nationally at 9.9 percent, behind Davis, Key West, and Corvallis, Oregon.</p>https://www.80304.com/post/boulder-creek-path-bike-trail-system-80304/Sat, 20 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://www.80304.com/post/boulder-creek-path-bike-trail-system-80304/ <h2 id="boulder-creek-path-the-grade-separated-corridor">Boulder Creek Path: The Grade-Separated Corridor</h2> <p>Grade-separated at every major road crossing, the Boulder Creek Path runs 5.5 miles from the mouth of Boulder Canyon to the Stazio Ballfields near 55th Street without asking a cyclist to stop for a traffic signal. Where Broadway, Folsom, 28th Street, 30th Street, and the other main arteries of central Boulder would otherwise break the route, the path dips through underpasses and continues east — a design philosophy the City of Boulder has carried across an entire network the <a href="https://bouldercolorado.gov/services/bike">City's bike page</a> puts at more than 300 miles of bikeway total, with more than 80 bike and pedestrian underpasses citywide.</p>
