Funding for Bike Lanes Came Through from the Stimulus

Friends,

The American Economic Recovery and Enhancement stimulus package approved in the congress a couple weeks ago has trickled down to Memphis. Below you will see the routes which will have bicycle facilities in the Memphis Metropolitan Area within the next two years. We still have a lot of work to do to make Memphis into a bicycle friendly town, but this is a big step in the right direction.

Check out Wayfaring.com to see most of the routes traced on a map. First, locate Memphis, then, search “revolutions bike shop.” You can check out how the routes fit together by looking on the sidebar for “bike lanes,” “sign shared roadways” etc.
