The city of Dallas is using public input to improve its biking infrastructure across the city. The Dallas Transportation Department is taking feed- back from an online survey posted this July to update the city’s bike master plan. City o cials said creating the updated plan is important for “creating a safe and reliable bike network.” Biking infrastructure in the Lakewood/Lake Highlands area of Dallas includes the Cottonwood Creek Trail, the White Rock Creek Trail, the White Rock Lake Trail and the Santa Fe Trail. According to a July 27 pub- lic meeting, Dallas is planning multiple bike improvement projects for later this summer
