CDTC has made a strong commitment to improving bicycle and pedestrian facilities. This means incorporating sidewalks and pedestrian crossings and bicycle lanes in highway construction projects; encouraging site design by developers that provides high quality pedestrian access; developing bike/hike trails; encouraging the incorporation of bicycle and pedestrian accommodations into city, village and town plans. One of the currently unfunded “big ticket initiatives” described in the Plan presents a vision for a regional greenways program that would result in 280 miles of bike-hike trails linking parks, natural areas, cultural features, historic sites, neighborhoods and retail areas.
