Power To The Pedaled

Those who rely on pedal power, rather than gas, relish the plan Anthony Siracusa (left) leads bicycling enthusiasts over the I-240 overpass to a Thursday evening meeting with city planning officials at Christian Brothers High School. Siracusa said they hoped to hear finalized plans for the city's first bike lanes. City engineer Wain Gaskins said one bike lane will be created on Shady Grove between Humphreys and Yates and another will go on Brierview between Shady Grove and Walnut Grove. He said it could be done by autumn. Existing roads would be used; no construction is required.
