City officials are using $100,000 in federal funds to develop a Bike Plan for El Paso. The City focused on five surface streets over the summer, using cameras to gather bike usage statistics on Hondo Pass Avenue and Rushing Road in Northeast El Paso, Belvidere Street and Redd Road in West El Paso, and Edgemere Boulevard in East El Paso.The City will use the data to help determine what types of bicycle facilities are needed on different streets. According to City spokesperson Marissa Monroy, part of the funds will also be used for safety and education purposes. City officials hope to begin drafting the Bike Plan by January.
