Construction is supposed to start later this year, possibly as soon as about six months from now, according to project leaders. <\/p>\n
TAMPA, Fla. \u2014 Travel for cyclists in Tampa looks to be getting a little easier.<\/p>\n
Tampa officials hosted a city meeting Wednesday night to speak to neighbors about a project that will bring separated bike lanes to Morgan Street, from Brorein Street to Harrison Street.<\/p>\n
“Safety will be better,” said Paula Flores of the group Walk Bike Tampa. “I’m a huge hockey fan, so it provides another way to get to some of these venues.”<\/p>\n
The $500,000 project is expected to add connectivity to major parts of the city for bicyclists.<\/p>\n
Project leaders say one reason Morgan Street was chosen for the project is that adding the separated bike lanes on a less congested street can bring a huge benefit to bicyclists, without taking away from drivers on one of our busier roadways.<\/p>\n
