Reader Poll Question: Do you feel the city of Yakima is doing enough to improve road conditions for bicyclists?
Though the Yakima City Council approved a bicycle master plan in 2018 — it details 73 miles of proposed improvements — a recent Yakima Herald-Republic story noted that the city is not keeping up with its goal of adding five miles of bike improvements annually.
