One item discussed at this week’s Work Session was upgrades to Staggers Road, including changes to integrate into the City’s Bikeway Master Plan.

If you’re curious, the image below is of the City’s Bike Map (v2018-02) which shows shared use roadways, on-street bike lanes, hiker biker trails, and bike racks. (PDF version) It can be a great way to discover sites you may have not known exist around town.

And there are improvements coming to the City’s cycling and pedestrian trails – Some helpful references include:

This last one is our City’s most recent advancement of bike and pedestrian trails – This past year the Bicycle & Pedestrian Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) voted for “Alternative 2” presented in the study (page 14) for a on-road bicycle lane on Cherry Lane with physical separators for cyclist safety.

Speaking of which, if cycling and walking around town gets your blood pumping, 😉 please consider joining the Bicycle & Pedestrian CAC 🚴‍♀️🚶‍♂️ – your voice will strengthen the development of this critical part of our City’s features and help make Laurel a walkable, cyclable, enjoyable community!
