Bicycle Policies

#1. Bikeway System and Support Facilities
Construct and improve the region’s bikeway system and provide bicycle system support facilities for both new development and redevelopment/expansion.

Note: The MPO Policy Board has added the following new draft language to the second paragraph of TSI Bicycle Policy #1, Policy Definition/Intent (Chapter 2, Page 30 of the draft Central Lane MPO Regional Transportation Plan): "In order to encourage walking and bicycling trips by those not currently using those modes, it is preferable, when practical, that bicycles and pedestrians be as physically separated as possible from the flow of motorized traffic."

#2. Bikeways on Arterials and Collectors
Require bikeways along new and reconstructed arterial and major collector streets.

#3. Bikeway Connections to New Development
Require bikeways to connect new development with nearby neighborhood activity centers and major destinations.

#4. Implementation of Priority Bikeway Miles
Give funding priority (ideally within the first 3 to 5 years after adoption of TransPlan, subject to available funding) to stand-alone bikeway projects that are included in the definition of “Priority Bikeway Miles” and that increase the use of alternative modes.
