Regional Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Update (2002-2003)

Project Background

Between June 2002 and February 2003 an update was completed to the ARTS Regional Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan. ARTS contracted with the firm ARCADIS, Inc. to complete the plan update. The plan update included background research on existing conditions and routes within the region, identifying routes that create a connected network of both bicycle and pedestrian facilities linking major destinations, and prioritizing future projects based on regional needs and desires. The resulting document is a phased action plan with specific policies, strategies, and projects with cost estimates and identified funding opportunities.

The planning process involved the following steps.
