#BIKEMARANA

YOUR RESOURCE FOR BIKING IN MARANA

The Town of Marana recognizes the growing need and responsibility to provide opportunities for people to bike within the Town and we have made the commitment to ensure that current and future planning accommodates this need on a local and regional level. Our goals include developing and maintaining an integrated system of bikeways and ensuring safe and convenient bicycle access throughout the Town.


THE LOOP

The nationally award-winning, Chuck Huckelberry Loop, (AKA “The Loop”) is a system of paved, shared-use paths and short segments of buffered bike lanes connecting the Cañada del Oro, Rillito, Santa Cruz, and Pantano River Parks with the Julian Wash and Harrison Road Greenway. The Loop extends through unincorporated Pima County, Marana, Oro Valley, Tucson, and South Tucson.

BIKING IN TOWN

Continental Reserve Loop Streetscape

There are a number of very enjoyable bike rides within the Town of Marana. Those who prefer to ride on a paved surface may take advantage of a growing system of bike routes and multi-use lanes along some of the Town’s arterial and collector streets.  Bike lanes along Silverbell Road from Cortaro Road northwest to Twin Peaks Road are quite popular with residents of Continental Ranch, as are the striped multi-use lanes on Coachline Boulevard and Continental Reserve Loop. Other popular roadways with striped multi-use lanes are Twin Peaks Road, Cortaro Farms Road, Ina Road, Tangerine Road, Tangerine Farms Road, Lon Adams Road in Gladden Farms, and Dove Mountain Boulevard.
