Draft Sidewalk and Bicycle Facility Priorities Map

This sidewalk and bicycle prioritization map was produced as part of the Active Mobility Plan. It identifies potential future sidewalk and bike facility projects to improve conditions for people walking and biking. Though the criteria used to evaluate priorities were similar, the sidewalk prioritization helps us determine which gaps to fill in first within the existing sidewalk network while the bike prioritization establishes priority corridors for a new, comprehensive bike network.

A sidewalk project marked as high priority would likely be on a roadway with existing pedestrian safety concerns, have transit nearby, provide access to multiple community destinations, and serve a community that is more likely to be transportation disadvantaged. The priority bike network identifies corridors and connections that could have the most impact in terms of expanding access to destinations and serving vulnerable populations, while forming a cohesive network.

These are draft priority recommendations, and the plan has not yet been adopted by Council.
