Bike Wichita Falls hosting Circle Trail cleanup sessions

WICHITA FALLS (KFDX/KJTL) — With warmer weather approaching, more folks will be out walking and biking along the Circle Trail, and that’s why the Bike Wichita Falls group is taking some time to make it shine a little brighter with some cleanups.
“The trail is one of the biggest assets for people that ride bikes of all different levels not just people that ride out on the road but there are so many people that travel by bike on the trail here so it’s our way of giving back and it’s what we get to look at the most whenever we’re riding so we want to help take care of it,” Bike Wichita Falls Co-Chair Becky Raeke said. …
Richardson City Council approves active transportation, parks master plans
By Jackson King | communityimpact.com
… The newly approved Active Transportation Plan, which is designed to connect off-street and on-street infrastructure for nonvehicle transportation, includes increasing the level of comfort for bike riders, creating bike trails that are safe for all ages and abilities, making transit connections within the region, and eliminating gaps in the biking network.
The proposed biking network would total 141 miles by adding 54 miles of bike trails to the 87 miles that already exist within the city. Project Manager Christian Lentz said during a February Council meeting the active transportation plan will allow 96% of all Richardson residents to be located within a five-minute walk, or 0.5 miles, of the active transportation network.
Both plans have been discussed by council since the start of 2022 and are part of a 2023 update for the city’s upcoming comprehensive plan. Updating the comprehensive plan is expected to last through 2024.
