TYLER, Texas (KLTV) - The City Council approved a construction contract with Stripe-A-Zone on Wednesday to add about 36.6 miles of bicycle lanes and shared lanes throughout the city, connecting 11 routes to a centralized hub in the downtown area. The project provides lane markings and signs, giving bicyclists a designated space to ride on the roadways, increasing bicyclistsâ and driversâ safety.
The City applied for funding for the Tyler Bike Stripes through the 2017 Transportation Alternative Set-Aside (TASA) Program, a federal grant program administered locally through the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). The program grants opportunities for cities to expand transportation choices and enhance alternative transportation infrastructure.
