It's great that Corolla is finally getting a bike trail. I see so many people walking and biking along Hwy 12 and it is very dangerous. The roads are curvy with lots of blind spots so this trail will help keep the locals and tourists safe. After all the money the government has wasted over the last few years of bailouts I am glad to see that at least some of it is going to good use. Below is an article from The Daily Advance on the bike trial.
Thanks to a $500,000 state grant, Corolla residents will soon have a trail for walking, jogging and biking.
Currituck County officials announced Friday that the county has been awarded the grant by the North Carolina Parks and Recreation Trust Fund. The $500,000, combined with $500,000 in county funds, will help pay the $1 million cost of constructing a 10-foot wide, 1.2-mile paved trail in Corolla.
"We're really excited about it," said Holly White, senior planner in the Currituck Planning Department. "Right now there's nothing there, so people are riding bikes and moms are pushing strollers along the side of the road." To learn more go to Corolla Bike Trail
