TYLER’S BIKE STRIPE PROJECT

Tyler’s Bike Stripe project is a key component of the Regional Trail Plan connecting several regional parks, hospitals, schools, business complexes, residential subdivisions and downtown. This $900,000 project will be completed in 2021, and is paid for in cash through the grant and the City of Tyler’s Half Cent Sales Tax Program. This project will eventually lead to the development of a Hub-and-Spoke Bicycle lane network that will connect the entire City of Tyler!

HOW IT STARTED:

In 2015, a group of engineering students from UT Tyler were approached by members of the Bicycle Advisory Committee. The students worked with Mena Souliman, PhD, and began brainstorming ideas and plans to create a network of bicycle lanes connecting all higher-education institutions in the City with preexisting bicycle lanes. The group was awarded $50,000 through donation funding due to the importance of their project.
