Cape has received a $250,000 Ride the City grant from the Missouri Foundation for Health that will create 40 miles of bike lanes and install 156 bike racks.
Eric Redinger, member of the local Bicycle Advisory Council says this grant will connect schools, parks, and recreational facilities with bike lanes..
"I think it’s just great, I think it’s great for bicycle enthusiasts because you can travel through the city so much easier," Redinger says. "That is also a big benefit for people right now with unsteady gas prices."
Redinger feels this will also benefit children making it safer for them to ride their bikes to school.
The Bicycle Advisory Council will be working with the city to implement the grant over the next few months.
Redinger says the bike lanes should be completed by October of this year.
