The Chico City Council is set to weigh four options to reduce vehicle hazards on a well-used stretch of road in Lower Bidwell Park. South Park Drive runs from Cypress Street to Caper Acres. It's currently open to cars, but one proposal would close it off entirely to vehicles. Two other options would add a separated pedestrian and bike path — one with and one without more parking. Another proposal is the simplest, just repave the road. Nearby residents favored the least invasive option to repave.
