Bicycle Signs around the city of Detroit
Here are four interesting bicycle signs around the city of Detroit.
From left to right:
Who knew there was bicycle parking at the Motor City Casino, much less signs for it? This sign is at the corner of Temple and Brooklyn in the heart of the casino campus.
There used to be a collection of Weekend Bicycle Route signs installed by the city of Detroit Recreation Department during the ’80s. This one is along Rivard just north of Jefferson Avenue. The signs marked a suggested route for cyclists before there was a RiverWalk. There were also three large signs that spoke of the history of Detroit’s riverfront as well as its future. Those signs are no longer around. There was also a brochure, which we are tracking down. (Thanks to Harriet Saperstein for this information!)
The Watch for Bikes is an older, now outdated sign along West Outer Drive, a Wayne County road. This particular sign is in the Rosedale-Grandmont area.
The last sign is on Auditorium Drive between Jefferson Avenue and Atwater. The slope is not very much nor very dangerous for a cyclist. The true danger is the city located a fire hydrant in the middle of the pathway.
