SLO County Bicycle Coalition to Welcome New Bike/Pedestrian Bridge

image With strong support from the San Luis Obispo County Bicycle Coalition, the San Luis Obispo City Council approved the adoption of the Orcutt Area Specific Plan which is set to include 1,000 new homes, approximately 100 acres of parkland and open space, and a new bicycle and pedestrian bridge.

The new bridge will provide a safe crossing over the railroad tracks and will allow for a stronger connection between the Orcutt area and local businesses and amenities. The city council has agreed to finance half of the cost of the bridge by seeking grant money because of its expectations of significant use by San Luis Obispo residents.

The SLO County Bicycle Coalition will continue its efforts in providing strong support for facilities that accommodate active transportation and encourage connectivity within the county.
