Due to popular demand for a healthier lifestyle or necessity to save money for transportation, Jefferson City is starting to look into creating more options, according Sonny Sanders, senior transportation planner for the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO).

Two years ago, CAMPO staff members approached their board of directors about including bicycle and pedestrian planning to help residents who either choose to ride or can't drive to work or around the city.

"Sometimes, owning a car is not possible, and more folks either walk, ride a bicycle, borrow a ride from someone, or take transit," Sanders said. "We're a tourist town. People come in, they get out and they like to wander around the streets and parks."
