Draft Plan After much careful
review and reformatting, we have a new draft of the Bike Walk Central Corridor Action Plan! The purpose of this draft is to collect
preliminary public feedback on all the changes that have been made
since the open house. The formal City Council public hearing draft
will be released early in 2010. Also, as a warning, the plan takes a while to download and seems to be showing up as "done" before it actually is. Be sure not to give up hope and leave the window open even after it says it is "done" so you can let it finish its work.
Goal The goal of the Bike Walk Central Corridor Action Plan is to enhance biking and walking to and within the Central Corridor and foster bicycling and walking as a major portion of the transportation solution. The Plan will achieve this goal of increasing biking and walking travel mode share in the Central Corridor by focusing on five objectives - Improving Connectivity, Enhancing Safety, Improving the Bike-Walk Experience, Fostering Creative Solutions, and Feasibility/Functionality. These objectives will inform Plan routes, support facilities, amenities and programs.
Background We've prepared a little FAQ sheet to address some of the common questions we've received about bike lanes on University. For more on the thought behind the draft plan, you can check out the presentation here from the Open House back in February.
