In an article in The Explorer this week, Pima County Administrator Chuck Huckelberry writes about The Loop.

“If the amount of use already visible along The Loop is any indication, this new amenity will emerge as one of the most popular places for Pima County residents to spend time exercising outdoors, not just today, but for generations to come.

“The success of this regional project  is a model for what can be accomplished through the collaborative efforts of Pima County, Marana, Oro Valley and the cities of Tucson and South Tucson.”

He invites the community to participate in Family Bike Day from 9 to 11 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 8, at the Northwest YMCA, 7770 N. Shannon Road, and in the Launch The Loop celebration from 7:30 to 11 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 22 at locations along the newly connected Rillito and Santa Cruz river park paths.
