Steady but sure, Cincinnati’s Scenic Bike Path marches on

August 3, 2007 on 5:00 am | In Cinti.& Ohio River Valley |

Cincinnati City Council passed a measure yesterday approving the temporary extension of the Scenic Bike Path from the Lunken Airport perimeter trail towards Sawyer Point. Within two years, an idle portion of the Oasis rail line (paralleling Eastern Ave.) could see the bikeway running alongside and riders, skaters, and walkers from downtown and areas east with new opportunities.

Due to the persistence of our area’s bicycling advocates, major strides have been taken in the last three years with the extension of the same bike trail from Milford to Newtown. The temporary four mile extension will cost an estimated $1 million, and will be raised by private donations. Supporting members of city council hope this will be the first step in extending the trail to the West side and the Mill Creek Valley.

What we want to know is, who’s in charge of re-painting the mile markers every year
