The Iowa City City Council voted July 27 to help fund a bike-sharing grant with the University of Iowa, authorized the creation of dedicated bike lanes to parts of First Avenue and Mormon Trek Boulevard, as well as changes to the city’s biking ordinance.

Last year, the UI and Iowa City submitted an application to the Iowa Department of Transportation for a $135,300 grant to help fund a bike-sharing program, which they then received.

The bike-sharing program would install three bike stations across campus and 30 bicycles for local residents.

As part of the local funding match, the city counselors voted Monday to contribute $13,700 to the program.
