Have you spotted the little street signs showing up all over Grand Junction? They display a picture of a bicycle along with a particular color. What are they for?
I first spotted these in the downtown areas of Grand Junction. They re essentially street signs mounted to stoplight posts or light posts.
This may be an example of one of the rare good things to come out of 2020. Last year, the City of Grand Junction, along with the Urban Trails Committee, installed 300 wayfinding signs to help direct bicyclists around the valley.
According to gjcity.org, this project was funded by a CDOT grant in the amount of $50,000, a grant of $10,000 from the Horizon Drive Business Improvement District, and a $5,000 match from the city. Put it all together, and you have a project cost of $65,000.
