The Big Rapids City Commission has signed a resolution last night for Big Rapids to be more bicycle friendly.

 

Neighborhood Services Director Paula Priebe told commissioners the first bicycle loop is nearly completed.

 

“The City of Big Rapids has a goal of being active as a bicycle friendly community, this resolution will bring us one step closer to being that.” Priebe said. “The first bicycle street loop is more than halfway done now, it includes the White Pine Trail, Colburn Avenue which was recently finished, to complete this loop we need markings and signage on Bronson and Milton Avenues.”

The Big Rapids City Commission also approved a resolution to apply to Pure Michigan seeking to have a “Trail Town” designation.

 

The next City Commission meeting is Dec. 6^th at City Hall.
