August 20 2026 - Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Board

The City of Conway Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Board met on August 20, 2026, to discuss ongoing and upcoming projects related to cycling and pedestrian infrastructure. Key procurement-related topics included a pending federal government review and payment for a project, which has temporarily halted progress until funds are received. The board also reviewed updates on the installation of a bike trail wall ride by Affordable Trails, funded in part by donations from Conway Bicycle Advocates. Additionally, the board discussed the successful public input session for an outdoor recreation grant, which includes a master plan for soft surface trails connecting to Lake Conway, supported by approximately $1.5 million in matching funds from local sources. Other infrastructure updates included progress on a roundabout near Salem and Meadow Lake, and plans for a future roundabout at a dangerous intersection near Washington and Spruce streets. The board also touched on trail maintenance equipment procurement and enforcement and education efforts related to e-bike usage. No formal votes on contracts or budget allocations were recorded during this meeting, but several projects and funding sources were highlighted as moving forward.
