SIMPCO was awarded a micro-grant from the Missouri River Historical Development (MRHD) organization to update the Sioux City Metro Trail Map and web-based app to reflect trails constructed and planned since the previous map update in 2017.
The new version of the map includes all current trails, on-street bike routes, and known future trail projects. Maps will be distributed throughout the Siouxland Metro communities of Sioux City, North Sioux City, South Sioux City, and Sergeant Bluff. They will also be available in public spaces such as city halls, museums, parks, and libraries; as well as in some businesses, such as hotels and sporting goods stores.
To accompany the paper maps, an interactive online version was created as well. This version can be accessed from SIMPCO’s website in the transportation planning division under bicycle/pedestrian activities.
A corresponding QR code will be available on paper maps and at several trailhead signs throughout the bike network for quick mobile access to the online map. The QR code is also printed on promotional items that will be distributed along with the maps and at future events.
The updated map will encourage residents and visitors alike to explore the metro area’s extensive trail network that is growing year after year. The online version will be updated continually to include newly constructed and planned trails.
