Council hears update on regional bicycle 'spine' and trail connections
Summary
Councilors discussed regional planning for a bicycle 'spine' from the Sutter Buttes to Yuba College, noted jurisdictions are coordinating but funding remains unresolved, and flagged trestle and Binney Junction renovation connections to the 3 Rivers Trail.
Councilors discussed a regional bicycle 'spine' project that would connect the Sutter Buttes area to Yuba College and link with local trail systems. A council member said jurisdictions have been involved in planning and that the project "still need[s] to go after funding," noting the proposal remains in coordination and planning stages.
Staff and council members said the plan would include connections to the 3 Rivers Trail and use of a train trestle as part of the alignment, and that related infrastructure (such as the Binney Junction renovation) would be connected when funded. A city staff member noted coordination has started and momentum is building, but no recent meetings or funding commitments were reported.
Councilors asked for a future presentation on the regional bike plan so the council can review routing, safety features and potential funding strategies. No formal action or funding allocation occurred at the meeting.
