New at Twin Rivers Cyclists?

MikeRiddle asked me to compose a letter of support for Lynn Moss’s application for a grant from Idaho Parks and Rec to build a trail from Lindsay Creek just below the new development up to the new community park on Warner. Lynn has visions of linking Lindsay and Tammany with a bike route over 21st. He would also like to tie together Spalding Park, Hell’s Gate Park, and Dworkshak using existing railbeds. I like his vision.–Corrie

 

Lynn Moss,

 Lewiston cyclists ride the Lindsay Creek route frequently. We call this the Lewiston Loop. Starting at the Southway Boat launch we either ride up Tammany and down Lindsay Creek or reverse it. As population increases with a new housing development, the narrow Lindsay Creek route becomes more problematic.

 The possibility of having a trail system from Lindsay Creek up to Warner Ave is exciting. This opens up access through the new community park to Orchards residents and lays the ground work to feed future use by the high school and college staff and students as well as providing a first leg in a future trail system to tie the designated bike routes of Lindsay Creek and Tammany together.

 This project supports not only recreational cyclists but is a first step in encouraging bicycle commuting. It is a step in the right direction for all Lewiston residents.

 The Twin Rivers Cyclists are pleased to support the city’s application for an Idaho Parks and Recreation Recreational Trail Grant.

 

For the President, Mike Riddle
