Temecula Approves 5-year Bicycle Trail Plan

We did it!

The Temecula City Council last night approved (5-0) a five year Bicycle Trail Master Plan. Thanks to everyone who made this possible, from Temecula Bicycle Coalition, Temecula Velo, The Bike Shop, Jax Bikes, City Council subcommittee Mike Naggar and Chuck Washington, City Manager Bob Johnson and City Planner Matt Peters

This plan will guide the city in connecting on-street bike lanes, there are about 20 miles of them right now but we need another 7 miles just to connect some of them, off street bike paths, that will take a lot longer, and signage.

My thought is that once it gets started, more cyclists will use the lanes, the plan will snowball and things will happen quicker than the five years.

All in all, a great night for cyclists, and for the young cyclists that are just getting started.
