Posted May 1, 201015 yr We just got word that the City of Dayton has received a bronze designation as a Bicycle Friendly Community by the League of American Bicyclists! :clap: :clap: Dayton joins Columbus as the only recognized cities in Ohio - an effort that began over 30 years ago when they started building the over 230 miles of connected trail in the Dayton Region and has continued with huge efforts by the Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission, Five Rivers MetroParks, Miami Conservancy District and the City of Dayton. This is only the beginning as the forces that combined to apply for the BFC rating are now focused on pushing forward to gain silver status in two years. This is also great timing as Dayton is getting ready to open its new riverfront bicycle hub and pavilion at RiverScape - only the third such hub east of the Mississippi and first in a mid-sized city. Finally - those involved with outdoor recreational facilities are also working with area leaders on a regional master plan to make our rivers navigable and ultimately a magnet for economic development. Stay tuned...
May 1, 201015 yr This is very good news and further evidence that Dayton is continuing to transform itself.

February 13, 20187 yr Biking in downtown Dayton is about to get easier Getting from downtown to the University of Dayton campus on a bicycle can be tricky, since there’s a gap in the bike path that often requires riders to dodge cars around the U.S. 35 interchange. But the city of Dayton plans to close the gap, not only connecting those areas, but also completing a trail that links Kettering to downtown and beyond. More below: http://www.dayton.com/news/local/biking-downtown-dayton-about-get-easier/SZNfeaRkAZLqxrZ8JMhx0J/ --------- Good on Dayton for continuing to expand and improve its already-substantial bike network. These changes will do a heck of a lot to fix the handful of gaps in the bike path network that I struggle with when commuting by bike... especially the Warren-Jefferson connector. The area between US-35 and the railroad viaduct is downright scary to bike through currently. “To an Ohio resident - wherever he lives - some other part of his state seems unreal.”

April 6, 20187 yr Xenia's bike trail hub lands safety improvements Sitting at the intersection of four regional cycling trails, Xenia is proud to be known as one of the Miami Valley’s busiest bike hubs. It also wants to be known as one of the safest. As part of a multi-year traffic improvement plan, the city will re-stripe Detroit Street between Church and Third streets this spring, turning a southbound car lane into a bike lane. The new lane, which will connect northern and southern lags of the Little Miami Scenic Trail, will create more space between drivers and cyclists. The project also calls for new stoplights and medians as well as modified curbs. “You have to make roads safe for cars, but also for bikes and pedestrians,” said Xenia City Manager Brent Merriman, noting that an alarming number of pedestrians have been killed in traffic accidents nationwide in the last two years. “Making downtown safe for cyclists is going to create more business opportunities, too,” he added.

December 16, 20186 yr A bunch of exciting new bicycling developments are about to happen on the west side: Protected bike lanes, new trails coming to West Dayton DAYTON — West Dayton has few bike lanes but some major projects in the works will make it easier to ride a bicycle there. “West Dayton is definitely lacking in bike infrastructure,” said Joe Weinel, a city of Dayton senior engineer. “They need it because there’s not a lot over there.” Montgomery County will replace the Third Street bridge, with most of the construction expected to begin in early 2020. The more than $21 million project has been in development for years. Right now, the bridge’s sidewalks are eight feet wide, which can make it seem unsafe to ride across on a bicycle, officials said, especially when there are pedestrians. But the new bridge’s northern side will be 10 feet wide, and the southern side will be a 17-foot-wide multi-use trail, with two-way cycling lanes.

April 14, 20232 yr Dayton recreation trails project secures $1.5 million in funding An initiative to transform an out-of-service rail corridor into a multi-purpose trail is gaining traction with recently secured funding. Upon completion, the project would connect downtown Dayton to more than 350 miles of existing trail. U.S. Rep. Mike Turner (R-Dayton) recently secured $1.5 million in funding through the Fiscal Year 2023 Community Project Funding process to support the project dubbed The Flight Line. The project includes acquisition of a 6.5-mile out-of-service corridor and will catalyze design and construction phases. The rails corridors will then be converted into bike trails. “I was able to secure $1.5 million in funding that is going to transform the abandoned railroad track into a bike path that connects the entire bike system throughout the region,” Turner said. “I am excited to partner with Mayor Mims, who has been a great champion of development throughout our city. This is an important investment in the Huffman Historic District. By connecting the bike path with the rest of the system, it will attract activity, energy, and excitement. This project is called the flight line, and we’re looking forward to it taking flight.” More below: https://www.bizjournals.com/dayton/news/2023/04/13/east-dayton-rails-to-trails-project-secures-funds.html "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
