Legislation for Bike Lanes in Transmission Line Paths

What is happening? Bicycle lobbyists in Colorado are looking to a 2014 agreement between Centerpoint and the City of Houston to support bike trails under power lines.

Why is this important? That 2014 agreement is said to so difficult to implement the Texas Legislature streamlined it, and now Colorado wants to build upon this thought process.
