Plan to Add 720 Miles of Bike Paths Is OKd

From Times Staff Reports

A plan for a countywide commuter bikeway system approved Monday would add more than 720 miles of paths to the existing network.

The bikeways would build on the 906 miles Orange County already has, and improve connections between cities and from county to county, according to the plan adopted unanimously by the county Transportation Authority.

One route would connect Riverside to the coast, and another would follow the Ortega Highway.

The plan, which updates a 1995 version, is a guideline to help cities develop connected routes.

It is based on ideas from bicyclists, transportation officials and 19 cities and other jurisdictions.
