HUTCHINSON, Kan. (AP) — Reno County is taking early steps to develop a comprehensive route for bicycle riders in the county.

The first step came Tuesday, when county commissioners agreed to install four bike-route advisory signs on Old Kansas 61. That reversed a vote last week, when commissioners voted against the signs.

The Hutchinson News reports the approval came after bicycling supporters agreed to pay the estimated $690 cost of installing the signs.

Commission Chairman James Schlickau recommended that the county form a group of interested people to discuss and propose a comprehensive bike route for the county.

Commissioners also were told that a committee with members from Hutchinson, South Hutchinson, Haven, Colwich and Wichita is working to develop a bicycle route from Hutchinson to Wichita, though the plan is “in its infancy.”
