TULSA, Okla. — INCOG is in the process of garnering public input on the walkability and ease of use of bicycles around Green Country.
It seems cyclists and pedestrians are all around Green Country, but many aren’t going anywhere. INCOG wants to change that to connect Green Country destinations for cyclists and pedestrians.
WATCH: 2 News told you about these meetings when they started:
“That they want better access to, or its a location where there are safety concerns,” John Tankard with INCOG said.
Andrew Hinshaw rides his bike as his main mode of transportation. “I think everything’s kind of far out, spread out so to speak."
INCOG planners believe they can connect urban sprawl by adding a few features and building some new trails.
Hinshaw called the plan “absolutely” doable, “The trails are already connecting Skiatook, down to Sand Springs, up to Broken Arrow and Bixby."
After INCOG collects community input, they plan to bring recommendations to area communities. Local leaders tell 2 News, INCOG makes it easier to secure federal funding for projects such as these.
“I would hope that it’d mean people started riding more,” Hinshaw said, “Started using the trails instead of vehicles.”
