CYCLISTS and pedestrians heading from Tanjung Tokong to Padang Kota Lama (Esplanade) in Penang and back can now do so using a designated lane.
As part of the bicycle path master plan drawn in 2010 comprising some 200km of bicycle lanes on the island to be created in stages by 2020, this designated lane beginning in Tanjung Tokong (from Straits Quay) to the Esplanade stretches about 4.5km.
