Lake Hills Drive

Fall 2006
As the City of Billings is repaving and constructing new road projects, Public Works has made a conscientious effort to provide on and off-street bike facilities. On Lake Hills Drive which is pictured, and Pemberton in the Heights, the road work includes an on-street bike lane.

Several road projects have also included a trail separated from vehicular traffic along the roadway. These projects include the Zimmerman Trail extension (previously called the Arlene Corridor) from Poly down to Broadwater, So. Billings Blvd. from the frontage road to King Ave. E. and Alkali Creek Road. Other road projects that have the potential for a separate trail along the roadway are Rimrock Road from Shiloh to 54th St. W., Shiloh Road and Zimmerman Trail from Hwy.3 to Rimrock. As more bike lanes and trails are incorporated into roadways, Billings will become a more bike friendly community and hopefully a safer place as well as connectivity for alternate modes of transportation.
