The highway through one of the most picturesque and top-tier communities at the Lake could have bike lanes added in 2027.

Stacy Pyrtle, with Magic Dragon Trails, explained, "We have begun preliminary discussions with the Lake of the Ozarks Council of Local Government Traffic Advisory Committee to add bike lanes along a four mile section of Hwy MM basically from 242 to Woodrow Way on both sides of the road."

Pyrtle pointed out this stretch of the highway has car-width shoulders, no blind curves and no steep grade increases. The bike lanes, if approved, would be added in conjunction with the planned resurfacing of Hwy MM in 2027.

"It also leads into about 50 miles of residential streets in Porta Cima that have lower traffic flow and beautiful views," she said. "Many bikers and runners are already using this area so having designated bike lanes improves safety for all users."
