Talent, population 6,300, is notably rebuilding after a destructive wildfire in 2020. Ashland, population 21,000, is a college town known for hosting the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.
In 2022, Talent completed fairly ambitious curb-protected bike lanes on West Valley View Road. The project includes landscaped islands that cleanse and infiltrate rainwater, contributing to the health of adjacent Wagner Creek.
The twenty mile long Bear Creek bike path connects the cities of Ashland, Talent, Phoenix, Medford, and nearby areas, providing a pleasant natural space for cyclists.
Ashland’s bikeway network features the Railroad District bike path, which offers access to parks and neighborhoods but contains several at-grade crossings.
