Published Apr 8, 2010

A city program adopted in February would expand bike routes and lanes near the university but will not necessarily connect the campus to downtown Fort Worth, a city planner said.

Julia McCleeary, a City of Fort Worth senior planner with the project management division, said the program, titled Bike Fort Worth, does not have a method for determining where bike lanes and routes will be created.

While an increase in the student body fee is merited, SGA should re-examine how that funding will be allocated if the Board of Trustees approves the proposal.
