=== Bicycle === ==== Bikeshare ==== On February 21, 2018, New Haven officially launched its '''Bike New Haven''' bikeshare program.<ref name=":0">{{cite news |url=http://wshu.org/post/new-haven-launches-bike-share-program#stream/0 |title=New Haven Launches Bike Share Program |last=Moaton |first=Anthony |date=February 21, 2018 |work=WSHU |access-date=February 25, 2018 |archive-date=February 21, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180221194102/http://wshu.org/post/new-haven-launches-bike-share-program#stream/0 |url-status=live }}</ref> based on dockless technology powered by Noa Technologies<ref>{{cite web |url=https://apps.apple.com/us/app/bike-new-haven/id1349187233 |title=Bike New Haven |website=iTunes App Store |access-date=February 25, 2018 |archive-date=March 7, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180307022547/https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bike-new-haven/id1349187233?mt=8 |url-status=live }}</ref> At time of launch, the program features 10 docking stations and 100 bikes, spread throughout the urban core; there are plans to reach 30 bike stations and 300 bikes by the end of April 2018.<ref name=":0" /> The launch of the New Haven bikeshare program coincided with the launch of Yale University's own bikeshare program, which uses the same technology powered by Noa.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://to.yale.edu/news/yale-launches-new-bikeshare-program |title=Yale Launches New Bikeshare Program |last=Connor |first=Sullivan |date=December 4, 2017 |work=Yale Transportation |access-date=February 25, 2018 |archive-date=May 22, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200522163035/https://to.yale.edu/news/yale-launches-new-bikeshare-program |url-status=live }}</ref> ==== Bike lanes ==== In 2004, the first bike lane in the city was added to Orange Street, connecting [[East Rock Park]] and the [[East Rock (neighborhood)|East Rock neighborhood]] to downtown. Since then, bike lanes have also been added to sections of Howard Ave, Elm St, Dixwell Avenue, Water Street, Clinton Avenue and State Street. The city has created recommended bike routes for getting around New Haven, including use of the Canal Trail and the Orange Street lane.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cityofnewhaven.com/CityPlan/pdfs/EnvironmentalInitiatives/Greenways/BikeMap_Front.pdf |title=City Cycle Map |website=Cityofnewhaven.com |access-date=March 12, 2017 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110605170353/https://www.cityofnewhaven.com/CityPlan/pdfs/EnvironmentalInitiatives/Greenways/BikeMap_Front.pdf |archive-date=June 5, 2011 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cityofnewhaven.com/CityPlan/pdfs/EnvironmentalInitiatives/Greenways/BikeMap_Back.pdf |title=City Cycle Map by Region |website=Cityofnewhaven.com |access-date=March 12, 2017 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110524014248/https://www.cityofnewhaven.com/CityPlan/pdfs/EnvironmentalInitiatives/Greenways/BikeMap_Back.pdf |archive-date=May 24, 2011 }}</ref> As of the end of 2012, bicycle lanes have also been added in both directions on Dixwell Avenue along most of the street from downtown to the Hamden town line, as well as along Howard Avenue from Yale New Haven Hospital to City Point. The city has plans to create two additional bike lanes connecting Union Station with downtown, and the [[Westville (New Haven)|Westville]] neighborhood with downtown. The city has added dozens of covered [[bicycle parking|bike parking]] spots at Union Station, in order to facilitate more bike commuting to the station.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cityofnewhaven.com/TrafficParking/BikePlanning.asp |title=Welcome to the New Haven Department of Transportation, Traffic and Parking |publisher=Cityofnewhaven.com |access-date=July 23, 2014 |archive-date=May 21, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130521045110/http://www.cityofnewhaven.com/TrafficParking/BikePlanning.asp |url-status=live }}</ref> ==== Farmington Canal Greenway ==== The [[Farmington Canal Trail]] is a [[rail trail]] that will eventually run continuously from downtown New Haven to [[Northampton, Massachusetts]]. The scenic trail follows the path of the historic [[New Haven and Northampton Company]] and the [[Farmington Canal]]. Currently, there is a continuous {{convert|14|mi|km|adj=on}} stretch of the trail from downtown, through [[Hamden, Connecticut|Hamden]] and into [[Cheshire, Connecticut|Cheshire]], making [[bicycle commuting]] between New Haven and those suburbs possible. The trail is part of the [[East Coast Greenway]], a proposed {{convert|3000|mi|km|adj=on}} bike path that would link every major city on the [[East Coast of the United States|East Coast]] from Florida to [[Maine]].
