Help for Those Who Like to Hike and Bike

TYLER – In the near future, Tyler may have more paths for walking and biking. The city and the Tyler Area Metropolitan Planning Organization want to create a safer, more connected biking and walking infrastructure. This would be a combination of bike lanes on roads, bike paths and sidewalks for walking. Two major roads have been named as the most important part of the long-range improvement plan. They are South Broadway and Fleishel Avenue. The final plan, called Active Tyler, will be presented to city leaders next month. If approved, TxDOT will be approached for grants to fund the project.
