Bicycle lane extension will be completed in August

Construction began this month on a project that will improve safety for bicyclists traveling along portions of upper Lake Road.

The new one-half mile bike lane will complete the only missing 1,100-foot section of the westbound bicycle lane on Northwest Lake Road, from state Route 500 to Southeast 192nd Avenue. Improvements include widening the road on a hillside, installing storm catch basins, storm mains and laterals, manholes, and street resurfacing. Nine LED illumination street lamps will also be installed.
