MERRILL - Merrill will need to decide just how friendly it wants to be to bicyclists and walkers. A new plan could take away lanes of traffic on some main roads to benefit bikers.
The city approved a new bike and pedestrian plan last week that calls for painting bike lanes on roads, marking bike routes around the city, and widening sidewalks.
It also suggests changing the flow of two of its busiest streets. Under the plan, Center Avenue and East Main Street would no longer be four-lane roads. Instead, traffic would flow in just one lane in each direction. The roads would include a center turn lane and bike lanes on each side.
