While Memphis cyclists are still celebrating the city’s commitment to miles of new bike paths and the upcoming opening of the Greenline, the state wants to know what bike riders think of its highways.

The Tennessee Department of Transportation has posted a survey online and wants to hear from cyclists who have traveled on the state’s highways.

“Input from the survey will help guide the department in developing a comprehensive bicycling network, assess state routes with respect to bicycle suitability, and determine future action items relevant to furthering the goals of TDOT's Bicycle and Pedestrian plan,” a representative said in a written statement.

The survey will be available until Oct. 30. Click here to take it.

Expansions at St. Francis Hospital in Bartlett will add almost 100 new beds to the facility and double the number of patients it can handle in surgery and in the ICU.

The hospital broke ground on the $34 million, more than 83,000 square foot project Thursday morning.

“This facility expansion will allow us to add the space and medical technology needed to support the community for years to come,” said the hospital’s CEO Kem Mullins in a written statement.

The new building is expected to be finished by the second quarter of 2012.

“This project represents our continued commitment to promote the health and well-being of this community," said Mullins.

Ashley Scott was murdered on Thanksgiving Day 2006 by her husband, but the students and staff at Bolton High School haven’t forgotten her.

Jeffrey Scott was convicted of second degree murder and eventually sentenced to 25 years behind bars for beating his wife to death in their home.

The school will hold its annual 5K walk and run in Scott’s memory on Saturday, Oct. 9. The proceeds from the race will help other abused women. All the money raised from the event will go to the YWCA Abused Women’s Services and the Memphis/Shelby County Domestic Violence Council.
