Providence South Bikeway
The south Providence bikeway, funded by the Federal Highway Administration Non-Motorized Transportation Pilot Program, is near completion. It is a project of Getabout Columbia which advocates alternative modes of transportation with an emphasis on walking and/or biking.
The walkway runs parallel to the west side of South Providence. When completed it will be a beautiful addition to the city, and I am lucky in that I live less than a hundred yards from it - without having to cross a busy South Providence street.
Here is a picture I took when the project first started, and I was still unsure what it was going to be. This was even before the signs were put up:
But then things started to take shape. Keep in mind that construction and landscaping has been on again, and off again, for over a year now.
Here are some pictures of the project as construction continued:
Now it seems that all that remains is landscaping and fixing the drainage. I think this is going to be a popular feature here in the neighborhood. I just wished it stretched all the way to the Mizzou campus, and downtown.
