The City of San Luis Obispo will start construction in 2022 on a $2.5 million bicycle and pedestrian project after receiving a major grant.
The project, known as the Anholm Neighborhood Greenway, will give cyclists and pedestrians a safer way to move between downtown and San Luis Obispo’s northern neighborhoods.
It will connect Foothill Boulevard and the Highland Drive entry to Cal Poly with Downtown through 1.7 miles of protected bike lanes and crosswalks on Broad and Chorro Streets.
The project will also include accessible curb ramps, lighting, new trees and public art.
“The purpose of the neighborhood greenway is just to have a priority route that really prioritizes people walking and biking,” said Jennifer Rice, a transportation planner engineer with the City of San Luis Obispo. She said the new path “creates a really comfortable experience and opportunity for them to use those modes other than driving in a car.”
