City Council Meeting Recap - July 26 showing images for the Firefighters MOU and bike pump track design approvals

Contract for Bike Pump Track Design Approved

The City Council approved a resolution authorizing the City to sign a contract with the American Ramp Company to design an asphalt bike pump track at the undeveloped park space at Whitney Community Park.

The contract is for $67,300, and design is scheduled to be complete by the end of 2022.

A pump track is a course designed for bicycles with banked turns and hills, also called berms and rollers, where riders travel the course with minimal pedaling. Similar paved pump tracks to the Rocklin concept exist in Temecula, CA, and Leavenworth, WA, with dirt tracks open locally in Auburn and Elk Grove.
