HUNTSVILLE — If you are one of the many cyclists that transits the biking network running throughout North Alabama, the Huntsville Metropolitan Planning Organization wants your input on a new bike plan for the Huntsville area.


The organization will be hosting an “open house” Wednesday from 4-7 p.m. at the First Baptist Church on Governors Drive.

The goal is to create a safer and more connected bicycle network within Huntsville, Madison, Madison County, Triana and Owens Cross Roads.

Additionally, the plan will identify future bicycle routes, lanes and trails that connect residents and visitors to popular destinations.

The MPO is asking that bikers share their opinions using this survey and interactive map by Aug. 30.

A list of the “Best Road Biking Trails” in the Huntsville area can be found here.

According to the City of Hunstville, the HMPO plans and programs transportation improvements for the Huntsville Urbanized Area.
