New Suisun City Bike Path Officially Opened

CENTRAL COUNTY BIKEWAY LINKS NEIGHBORHOODS TO WATERFRONT DISTRICT

SUISUN CITY — Suisun City residents can now walk or bike from one end of the City to the other without ever having to cross busy Highway 12 at a stoplight thanks to completion of the last segment of the Central County Bikeway.

The ½-mile segment of bikeway from Marina Boulevard to the Suisun City Train Station, featuring an impressive 140-foot bridge, literally closes the last gap in the Bikeway. It was officially opened to the public Thursday during an afternoon ribbon cutting ceremony.

The ceremony included comments from Suisun City Mayor Pete Sanchez, Suisun City Councilmember Mike Segala and Solano Transportation Authority Executive Director Daryl Halls.

The Gap Closure Project is the last piece in a continuous 3-mile pathway through the heart of Suisun City dedicated for pedestrian and bicycle use along the north side of Highway 12. It is an essential safety enhancement that allows area residents to access the Waterfront District, Amtrak service, Solano County offices, and dining and shopping opportunities without using their cars.
