Citywide Bicycle Plan
The Citywide Bicycle Plan planning process is well
underway. Staff have been working
diligently behind the scenes to set the process in motion and this month hit
the milestone of having our work plan given the go-ahead by the Transportation
Committee. We’ve also established a
project webpage, to help you stay up to date on the latest.

Construction Update
We're busy this construction season adding to our bike network. Among other projects moving forward this year, the construction plans for the Cherokee Regional Trail are complete and
will be out for bids soon to enable construction to begin late this summer or
early fall. When complete, the trail will provide 1.9 miles of new trail that
will connect Cherokee Regional Park with Harriet Island Regional Park. Also on track is the project to fill a gap in the bikeway network on John Ireland Boulevard by providing on-street
bike lanes between Kellogg Boulevard and Selby Avenue as well as make the
corridor more pedestrian friendly. Preliminary layout is complete and design is
progressing toward construction in 2011.
