Cyclists raise safety concerns over Main Street changes
By Ethan Quin,
2026-09-16MEDFORD, Ore. – As overnight restriping work continues on Downtown Medford’s Main Street, local cycling advocates are raising alarms about the removal of the city’s parking-protected bike lanes. Kyle Adams, a mechanic at Al’s Cycles and Hobby, argued the city is ultimately sacrificing rider safety to secure extra downtown parking spots. Adams said the shop sees the aftermath of collisions between bicycles and cars on a daily basis, warning that removing the physical barrier of parked cars between cyclists and moving traffic will inevitably lead to more accidents and hospital visits.
