Local volunteers, the N.C. Dept. of Transportation, and Scotland
County Parks and Recreation met Tuesday, Oct. 23, 2007 to discuss bicycle
routes for Scotland County. The purpose of the project is to map and
sign a system of transportation bicycling routes which will connect
various municipalities via roads currently good for bicycling and will
provide connections to major points of interest such as parks,
recreation areas, and historic sites as well as existing area cycling
routes. A map/brochure detailing the routes with additional
cyclist-oriented information will be produced to enhance local bicycle
transportation.
