For safety reasons and to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act, there are strict limitations on how steep the paths can be built, Knotts said. Geographic challenges in- clude steep slopes, rock out- croppings and gullies. While the hope is that the vast majority of the route will be dedicated, mixed-use paths away from automotive traffic, some stretches might have to share vehicle roadways, Knotts said. While many of the missing pieces of the loop are on the less-populated east shore of the lake, challenges and gaps remain to the west. Negotiat- ing a path around Emerald Bay, for instance, will be cost- ly.

The more encompassing bike master plan also looks to add paths that connect popu- lation, job and recreation cen- ters that may or may not over- lap with the loop route. The work is slow going and not cheap. The piece celebrated Thurs- day cost $1.5 million, includ- ing the cost of new parking, restroom and picnic facilities.
