City approves controversial bike race route despite safety concerns
During a recent government meeting, officials discussed the logistics of an upcoming bike race that will impact traffic in the City View area. The race will see participants entering via Highway 1, turning onto South Ridge, and stopping at a main station located at the recreation center. From there, riders will either dismount or continue riding past a construction zone towards Cheyenne Drive.

Concerns were raised about the safety of the route, particularly regarding traffic control and potential congestion at two controlled intersections near the I-80 exchange. Officials confirmed that both the highway patrol and sheriff's department will assist in managing traffic and ensuring rider safety during the event.

Despite suggestions to modify the route to avoid the construction area, organizers expressed a desire to maintain the original path. The meeting concluded with a unanimous vote to approve the parade route request, signaling a commitment to proceed with the planned race while addressing safety concerns.
