Omaha bike riders look to the future as the city makes plans to add 20 miles of marked lanes to city streets. This will allow residents in many areas to ride their bikes to work, the store, local shops, and more. The first commuter route in the Benson area is scheduled to be completed this summer. Other proposed bike routes are at Aksarben, Happy Hollow, Doorly, Midtown, and connections to existing bike trails.
While private donations from the Peter Kiewit Foundation and an unnamed donor are being used, some federal stimulus money will be used for some lane improvements.
