Bike Lex Map in draft
Saturday, January 8th, 2011
After a few grueling weeks of cartography, we have posted a draft of the new Bike Lex Map. The goal of this map is to help pedestrians and bikers enjoy the public spaces of central Lexington, Kentucky. The map should also help veteran bikers find new biking routes through the city and direct newbie bikers to good resources about biking in the city. Parents will also find the map helpful, because we have mapped many of the public parks and their paved paths. They can discover a new park to take their child’s first bike!
Proposed format: 26″ x 40″ printed map and companion website. Samples can be found here: http://www.bikelex.com
What does this map offer?
- Alignments for the Legacy Trail, Town Branch Trail, and other shared-use trails.
- Mountain biking trails in Veterans Park.
- Bike lanes & shoulders, walking paths, unpaved foot & bike trails, and other paths & spaces pedestrians might enjoy.
- Best routes for biking on Lexington streets.
- University of Kentucky bike routes.
This guide is in the early stages of development. If you would like to contribute, please contact us with your opinions, suggestions, or requests.
Thanks and happy trails!
