A bikeway roundabout

Highlight • Cycleway

This is a first for me: a bikeway traffic circle! It’s located at the intersection where the Kenilworth Trail meets the Midtown Greenway. It seems like the city is anticipating increased cycling activity now that the Kenilworth Trail has reopened.

A tip for Komoot users: Yesterday, when I tried to create a route along the newly reopened Kenilworth Trail, the app kept directing me off the trail and onto nearby roads and pedestrian paths. This may be because the trail’s updated route hasn't yet been added to OpenStreetMap. As I rode, I was consistently redirected away from the trail. However, don’t worry—the new Kenilworth Trail is well marked and easy to follow all the way to where it connects with the North Cedar Lake Trail.
