New Racks, Signs, & More from NE Arkansas

The Northeast Arkansas Bicycle Coalition is partnering with high school students from the NEA Career and Technical Center to provide bicycle parking for historic, downtown Jonesboro. The students are building 20 bike racks as part of their community service project and will be submitting their work as part of a state-wide welding/engineering competition.

A neighboring city and county have adopted local bike routes into their master street plans. According to the Arkansas State Highway Dept., accommodation of bicycles will be given due consideration when improvements or projects are planned for the state roadways that are designated as bike routes. The city and county have also agreed to install Share the Road signs along these routes. The signs are all provided by local donors, and since July of this year 75 signs have been purchased.
