The city of Iowa City is in the process of adding sharrow markings on Gilbert Street this week.

According to a press release, officials will also add markings to locations with ones already in place on Dodge, Market, Jefferson, and College Streets. The project will be completed next week.

City officials believe the changes will improve its bicycle-friendly status from the League of American Bicyclists when it reapplies in February. Iowa City has a bronze ranking, and according to the release, officials hope to upgrade to silver status.
