CAPE GIRARDEAU, MO (KFVS) - The city of Cape Girardeau is putting the final touches on the bike route system proposal after receiving input from several residents.

Some of the routes were removed from the original proposal after residents reported concern over the loss of parking. The removed roads, according to the city, include Perryville Road, Cape Rock Drive and a section of Hopper Road.

The proposal was also modified to not use traditional striping and instead use shared use arrows, or sharrows. The traditional striping would not allow parking on the route. The city has a map showing the new routes and locations of striping and sharrows.

The city said the sharrows will be used on sections of Lexington Avenue, Bertling Street, Frederick Street, Hopper Road and Independence Street.
