Organizer invites community to Lakeville bike ride, highlights trail improvements and e-bike safety ordinance
Summary
Howard Schneider invited residents to the 17th annual Lakeville community bike ride, described two routes and upcoming county work on trail crossings, and thanked park-and-rec staff while noting a new city ordinance addressing e-bike and motorized bicycle safety on trails.
Howard Schneider, a Lakeville resident, used the public-comment period to invite residents to the 17th annual Lakeville community bike ride and to update the council on local trail work. "We leave from Pioneer Park," Schneider said, describing an approximately 8-mile family route and a longer 20-mile route that will cross Cedar Avenue and reach Eastlake Community Park and parts of the North Creek Greenway Trail.
Schneider said the North Creek Trail now connects Apple Valley through Lakeville into Farmington and noted county plans to revise a downtown crossing near Antlers Park that will include a tunnel to improve safety. He also thanked park-and-recreation staff, naming Mark Cruz and Casey Robinson for their support in identifying trails and helping with logistics.
Schneider praised a recently proposed ordinance focused on trail safety for e-bikes and motorized bicycles and said public outreach through local media will help raise awareness. The ride is scheduled for "this Saturday," and organizers invited council members, staff and residents to participate.
