There is trail work going on at Walnut Creek. If you are on Inner Log Loops, you can see the new corridor that has been cut. In the near future we will be grubbing the trail tread. Everybody needs to understand what is going on and why some existing trails will be closed. There is a trade off of closing trails and opening trails.This post is to give riders a heads up on what is going on. Please share this post and its contents with other riders.
\nInner Log Loops – The big side walk (North Walnut Creek Regional Trail or NWCRT) replaced the trail that used to connect the Inner Log Loops to the start of Outer Log Loops. We are being allowed to replace that old trail with new trail. The new trail is just south of the NWCRT between the sidewalk and the existing Log Loops.

\nWe can complain about how it currently is not connected to other bike paths, we can also complain about the two-way bike lane on a one-way street, or we can celebrate that we have a dedicated bike lane. Me, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m going to celebrate it and encourage the city to keep building more protected bike lanes.
\nOne way that I can help that is by being counted when I ride on it. Right now the city has a counter set up in order to track the bicycle traffic along the Lamar Bike Lane. So if you find …<\/p>\n
