Looking North on Rock Blvd.
Looking South on Rock Blvd. (just past Rock park).
Intersection of Rock and Mill (looking South-Southwest).
Wooohooo! Bike lanes had been promised and the city of Sparks has delivered. Now don't get too excited, these lanes die out just before Greg St. if your headed North on Rock. What they do solve is a dangerous, previously unmarked section for riders exiting the river path headed South on Rock Blvd. to connect with the well marked bike lanes South of Mill St. (or on Mill St. depending on your commute). It was only a 1/4 mile or so, but it is on a blind curve that has a lot of tree cover further blocking drivers views of anyone on a bicycle. Adding to the hazard, for you adventurous winter commuters, was the fact that the bridge is a common black ice location with low angle sun during morning commute hours. Either way, the lanes are here and their spectacular!!
