Medford Bike Facilities Map

Main Street Protected Bike Lane

Medford's only protected two-way bike lane runs along East Main Street in downtown, between South Oakdale Avenue on the west and the East 8th Street split on the east. It was installed in 2023 at a cost of roughly $500,000, reducing Main Street from three vehicle lanes to two and adding 12 feet of dedicated cycling infrastructure separated from traffic.

In January 2026, the Medford City Council voted in a split decision to remove the lane. On April 15, 2026, the council voted 6-2 to adopt Option 2A, a two-lane design with angled parking that replaces the protected facility with an unbuffered painted bike lane. Read the full recap of the April 15 vote.

Bear Creek Greenway

The Bear Creek Greenway is a paved multi-use path that runs roughly 20 miles through the Rogue Valley, connecting Ashland, Talent, Phoenix, Medford, and Central Point. Within Medford, the greenway follows Bear Creek from the south city limits past Hawthorne Park and Bear Creek Park, continuing north toward Central Point. It is off-street and separated from car traffic for its entire length.

Larson Creek Greenway

The Larson Creek Greenway is a paved neighborhood path in east Medford following the Larson Creek corridor. It provides a low-stress connection between residential neighborhoods and serves as a practical commute and recreation route away from arterial streets.

Striped Bike Lanes

The map shows all on-street striped bike lanes in Medford as dashed yellow lines. These are painted, unbuffered bike lanes on streets such as Jackson Street, Barnett Road, Stewart Avenue, and McAndrews Road. The full Transportation Safety Action Plan (TSAP) that the council adopted on April 15, 2026 identifies the arterial network, including Main Street, as part of Medford's High Injury Network and calls for upgrading striped lanes to buffered bike lanes.
