Micro-mobility trails under consideration for county

Convenient and safe micro-mobility trails could someday be another way of getting around Kendall County, according to a local transportation committee wrapping up its final meetings.

Cyclists and future-thinkers worked with the committee to consider a network linking local cities of interconnected, smaller pathways for bicycle riders, walkers and — someday — bus passengers after they disembark.

Safety was a driving force for a subcommittee prioritizing walkability for school-age children heading to and from classes and cyclists who often find themselves fighting for a share of the road. Ideas about the smaller trails linking destinations grew from those discussions.
