The Cedar Community Connection

Here’s another example of a small effort that eventually will have a big impact. The City of West Bend has punched a hole through the woods on the west side of Ridge Run Park to make way for a connection to the Cedar Community, a residential development for seniors.


Soon, Cedar Community residents will have easy access to the trails and picnic pavilions at Ridge Run. A little farther into the future, Cedar Community will partner with Bike Friendly West Bend to create a Cycling Without Age program like the one that will begin this spring at Samaritan. You wouldn’t get a heavy rickshaw through this lane today—it was tough enough for me and my cyclocross bike yesterday …


but when it’s completed, the new path will be a pleasant way to get into the park. It’s one more step toward a bike-friendly city.
