Extensive bike plan proposed for Urbana

URBANA – An extensive network of off-road paths, bicycle lanes and marked bike routes will be installed throughout Urbana over the next 15 years, under a proposed bicycle master plan headed to the city council.

Urbana would spend $2.8 million over the next 10 years adding the bicycle facilities, most of that during the first five years.
