BOULDER COUNTY , Colo. — An 11-mile stretch of U.S. 36 between the City of Boulder and the Town of Lyons offers cyclists some of the best views in the foothills.“The Foothills Highway or many people know it by 36, I used to ride the road far more often than I do now,” Slater said.“We made a rule starting about six years ago that no group ride could have any portion of Highway 36 longer than maybe like half a mile to maybe get between two key points.
That’s why the North Foothills Bikeway Feasibility Study is looking at a separate bikeway to improve safety. “What we’re trying to do is design a separated bike way that would be for all ages and abilities. So, you wouldn’t have to be in that “fearless” category. You could be “confident” or “interested and concerned” and feel comfortable riding,” Phillips explained.“There’s lots of constraints including the topography. It’s very steeply undulating,” Phillips said.
“Right in the area we’re standing, just slightly north of Neva Rd., I was heading in the direction of Lyons and police came around me and stopped 100% of the traffic. About a half-mile ahead of me there was a fatality,” Slater said.“When we increase safety, that's increasing safety for motorists as well,” Slater said.
