Goal: Connect destinations through a network of non-motorized travel corridors

One means of increasing the convenience and utility of walking and biking is to enjoy a network of linked, efficient, non-motorized bike paths. These protected routes would be fed by, and feed, marked bike routes; which in turn, would be fed by, and feed, City streets friendly to cyclists and pedestrians. Essentially our plan is to link destinations (schools, workplaces, recreational sites, clusters of retail establishments) with convenient bike or pedestrian routes.

Objectives

One of our objectives is to “Connect destinations through a network of non-motorized travel corridors.” Immediate plans include improving the existing Centennial Trail (currently running east—west, parallel to the railroad tracks, extending from Kendrick Legion Field to Joslyn Street). Desired improvements include:

Extending the trail west to Spring Meadow Lake State Park
Improving road crossings and grades
Maintaining surface, including on temporary route north of planned Centennial Park
Improving signage
