The bikeway system is <br />a series of designated bikeway corridor routes which connect <br />major residential, commercial and recreational areas. The routes <br />were developed through an analysis of the existing conditions <br />data which resulted in the development of several bikeway <br />corridor route alternatives. These alternatives were based on <br />criteria such as accessibility, safety and costs of bikeway <br />facilities. <br />The bikeway and sidewalk system plans differ in the respect that <br />the bikeway system encompasses only major roadways and -the <br />sidewalk system deals with both major and local -roadways. Both <br />system plans indicate the roadway segments, location, design, <br />timing and responsibility for constructing bikeway and/or <br />sidewalk facilities. <br />Also, an implementation program for constructing sidewalk and/or <br />bikeway facilities was developed. The two components of <br />implementation are regulation and capital improvements <br />programming. <br />The bikeway and sidewalkcapital improvement program identifies <br />and prioritizes six projects for implementation by the county <br />within the next five years. The entire plan will be reviewed on <br />an annual basis)and proposed changes will be considered at that <br />time. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />The staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners <br />approve and adopt the county's Comprehensive Bikeway and Sidewalk <br />Plan. <br />Commissioners Eggert and Bowman proposed a Motion to adopt a <br />Resolution approving the Comprehensive Bikeway & Sidewalk Plan as <br />presented. <br />Chairman Scurlock wished to discuss the bikeway routes <br />proposed on the following map: <br />25 <br />NOV 151988 <br />BOOK 75 FnE 169 <br />
