The suggestion to establish some bike trails with access from residential areas to retail is an important one. In addition to improving the quality of life here, I believe it will help communicate that Great Falls is a 21st century "semi-rural" community and enhance the identity of Great Falls for prospective residents and in the minds of professional planners.
There are frequently federal and other funds available to help pay for bicycle infrastructure.
I am in full support and would be happy to work on such an initiative.
