A press release from the Minnesota Complete Streets Coalition:

ST. PAUL -- A measure to make roads safer and more accessible for all Minnesotans -– regardless of age or ability or whether traveling by car, bus, bike, or on foot -– was introduced into the Minnesota legislature today.

The Complete Streets bills, Senate File 2461 and House File 2801, are supported by a broad coalition of health, family, environment, senior, and transportation advocates who attended an afternoon press conference.

About two years after the Jordan City Council passed a bicycle lane plan for the city, signs have still never gone up.

City Administrator Ed Shukle said Scott County and the Minnesota Department of Transportation won’t allow the style of signs the city wants. Several of the streets named in the bicycle lane plan are under state or county jurisdiction.

“I don’t know how we can have a consistent bike trail signage system without state and county cooperation,” Shukle said.

It's such a pleasure to work alongside other Jordan Area Chamber of Commerce members.
