Accord On Salisbury Bike Trail Concept Outlined

SALISBURY -- Outdoor options in Salisbury could be expanding this year now that the Salisbury City Council has agreed to advance a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for mountain bike trails in the city park.

Acting Public Works Director Amanda Pollack told the council that the MoU would clearly define the city’s responsibility in regards to mountain bike trails.

“Essentially this MoU is delineating the responsibilities of both the Mountain Bike Association (MBA) and the city as far as the mountain bike trails in the park,” said Pollack. “So, essentially, the Mountain Bike Association would be designing the trails, obtaining all of the necessary permits and approvals to construct them, they would supervise the volunteers during construction as well as the maintenance of the trails in the future. They will be coordinating with the city on any modifications to the trails going forward and they would purchase and install all trail signs.”

Laughable. Hey Ireton how about making few roads around Salisbury wide enough for bike paths. Since there was 3 million dollars surplus of Taxpayers Money last year, that shouild be enough. Or are you planning of byuing another multimillion dollar Fiereboat to cruise from Brew River to MoJo's?

To me it is another waste of taxpayer money. They already have trails that are not maintained. I bet your bottom dollar you wouldn't catch that homosexual riding his bike on rt 13.

Thee is not enough room to ride a bike on 13. Too narrow. Have you seen anyone ride it this space? Me either.

Just because you paint a line on an existing roadway, doesn't necessarily create a bike path. But that's what they're calling it.
