The Lincoln Prairie Trails Conservancy met at the City Council Chambers in Taylorville on Tuesday night to discuss a safe bike route through Taylorville.  The group had two different routes that they were debating between mostly including Main Cross or Franklin.  Ultimately, the group agreed it was probably best to avoid Main Cross.

 
Group Chair Steve Dennis says that a route through town will not only help residents navigate the route safely, but could benefit when applying for future grants. 

Dennis says that Phase 1 will connect Paw Paw to Route 104/129.  Dennis explained the route that includes parts of Franklin and Silver Street. 

The Safe Route expenditures would include signs and possibly road paint.  

The measure now heads to the Street Department.  The green route was ultimately chosen.
