A Yes, and soon. On Wednesday, San Jose will unveil a green bike lane on He=
dding Street west of Highway 87. The 1 =BD-mile lane will run from the futu=
re Berryessa BART station to the Guadalupe River Park trail. Later this sum=
mer, bike lanes will be painted green on San Fernando Street.
The idea of painted painted bike lanes has been around for a decade. Sunnyv=
ale installed blue lanes on Moffett Park Drive about 10 years ago, before s=
tate rules made green the color of choice because it stands out more.

San Francisco installed green lanes along Fell and Market streets in 2010, =
while Pleasanton, Oakland, Berkeley, Palo Alto and San Mateo either have th=
em or are installing more.
