Bicycle Paths and Lanes in South Hadley

Bicycle Paths and Lanes in South Hadley have been added at a quick rate. Along Route 33 there is a double width bicycle path of about 1 mile in length. Along Route 202 there is a bicycle lane of about 2 miles on both sides of the road plus a new sidewalk over the same highway section. On Route 47 there is a wide sidewalk for both walkers and bicycle riders. Along Route 116 from the crossing with Route 202 there is a bicycle lane on both sides to the end of Woodbridge Street. The lane stops for a while until picking up again where 202 forms the border between Granby and South Hadley. This lasts to well pass the Notch into Amherst.
