Biking trails would be greatly appreciated!

I have lived in the center of Bloomington near I-35W and 90th St for my entire life. It has been a bit disheartening to see that while western and southern Bloomington have great bike infrastructure, such as the Hyland-Bush-Anderson Lakes Park Reserve complex and the network of trails along the Minnesota River, other parts, such as the north and east, have been left largely without. A bike path along Nine Mile Creek would provide an outlet of safe and low-stress recreation, especially for youth. Connections to the Minnesota River and Oak Grove schools could provide further use for this trail. I don't think it's fair to say that bike trails would destroy this natural beauty. The existing walking trails exist only because the City built them in the past. I believe that there is a way to create a bike trail (and with it, the aforementioned benefits) while preserving this area.
