Transportation Planning Studies – In Progress
Bicycle planning for the communities of Cambria, Carterville, Crainville, Herrin, and Murphysboro – Although the study locations are primarily focused within the jurisdictional boundaries of the communities, connectivity to existing regional trail networks such as the Crab Orchard Greenway, as well as connectivity to proposed future trail networks are to be included in this planning effort. Connectivity between the City of Murphysboro and Lake Murphysboro State Park and to Kinkaid Lake will be included in the planning study analysis and effort.
Bicycle planning for the communities of Du Quoin, Pinckneyville, and West Frankfort – Although this bicycle planning study will largely be focused within the jurisdictional boundaries of the communities, connectivity to existing and proposed regional trail networks such as the existing mountain bike trails at Pyramid State Recreational Area and to the fairgrounds of the Du Quoin State Fair will be included.
