City approves statewide Route 66 bicycle path

Sapulpa City Council unanimously approved the proposed statewide bicycle route that will run the entirety of historic Route 66, a portion of which will run through downtown Sapulpa, starting at Oak street and continuing until it hits the Ozark Trail, by the historic Rock Creek Bridge.

The route will be the first of its kind in Oklahoma, which, until this proposition, had no U.S. bicycle routes that stretched across state lines. Last week, Sapulpa Times reported Missouri and Kansas designating bike routes, with the hope that Oklahoma wouldn’t be far behind in adding our own long-distance bicycle paths.
