Organization: Lancaster Parks & Recreation

Year: 2008

Amount: $5,000

Type: Bike Path

A $5,000 grant will help the City of Lancaster, Ohio, build a 9.6-mile multi-use loop around their town. Because Lancaster doesn’t have a developed transit system, the city is working to promote other forms of alternative transportation, including bike commuting. They’ve identified this loop as particularly important to bike commuters, as it links two much longer pathway systems on either side of the city.
