Like riding a bike: Group collecting cyclers’ input

HUNTSVILLE – Bicycle routes, lanes, trails and safety will be the focus as the Huntsville Metropolitan Planning Organization reaches out to the cycling community. 

The organization is asking bikers throughout Huntsville and Madison County how riding can be made safer and more enjoyable.

The MPO is developing a plan to create a safer and more connected bicycle network within the Huntsville, Madison, Madison County, Triana and Owens Cross Roads areas. The plan will identify future bicycle routes, lanes and trails that connect residents and visitors to popular destinations.

To make that happen, the MPO encourages bicyclists to share feedback through an online survey and interactive map available through Aug. 30.

The MPO is also holding an open house next month offering an opportunity for face-to-face conversations about how to best develop the bicycle plan. The open house is July 24 from 4-7 p.m. at First Baptist Church, 600 Governors Drive.

The MPO website will provide updates on developing the bicycle plan and can be followed on Instagram and Facebook.
