Swansea to get bicycle trail

The village of Swansea, Ill., will be getting a a new 1.6-mile bicycle trail by the end of this year, the Belleville News-Democrat reports today.

The trail will link Old Collinsville Road with the MetroLink bike trail. Swansea leaders eventually hope to extend the trail to the Shiloh MetroLink station.

Bike trail construction appears to be taking place in spurts in St. Clair County, but it's better than no bike trail construction at all.

The construction of new trails and facilities for bikes is a good thing (as you know). Thanks for the post/link. I'm still wrapping up a 5.8 mile trail design in the Chicagoland burbs that will be a nice asset to the commmunity once constructed next year. Those cost estimates give me a gage on my costs here...thanks.
