Redlands Adopts SBC Non-motorized Transportation Plan!

Official word from Chris Boatman, Planner for the City of Redlands, is that the City has adopted the San Bernardino County Non-Motorized Transportation Plan.

This is great news for cyclists, as the plan includes bike lanes for Redlands that connect to the cities of Highland and Loma Linda, and their existing bike lanes.

I will try and get a more interactive version of this map going in the coming weeks.
