City Gets Plan For Bike Trails

Common Council says it will need funding help from the federal and provincial governments to establish a system of bike trails through the city. Consultant Kevin Brooks of Terrain warns it won't be cheap and some tough decisions will have to be made.
Brooks says the priority project would be a bike trail from Millidgeville to the Uptown. 19 recommendations have been passed along to the city. Brooks also told Common Council the Viaduct, which is unsafe for bike riders with six lanes of traffic, could be reduced to four lanes to allow for more green space but that would be a longer term project, up top 20 years down the road.
