The plan <br />identifies needed facilities and defines a network of bikeways and <br />sidewalks to meet the needs of bicyclists and pedestrians. The <br />criteria for the plan's recommended sidewalk and bikepath networks <br />include safety, accessibility, and cost. Alternatives that would <br />provide sidewalks or bikepaths near schools are given relatively <br />high weighting. <br />Recently, the Indian River County Metropolitan Planning <br />Organization (MPO) began the update of the bicycle and pedestrian <br />plan. The plan update will be accomplished through the MPO 's <br />Bicycle/Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BAC), which has members <br />appointed by the county and each municipality. As the designated <br />transportation planning organization for the Indian River County <br />urbanized area, the MPO chiefly uses federal funding to undertake <br />its planning activities. <br />ANALYSIS <br />--Public involvement is an extensive part of the MPO's bicycle and <br />pedestrian plan update. During the first week of 4ri1..1996, the <br />MPO held three workshops in various locations throughout the county <br />11 <br />APRIL 16, 1996 b®®K 49 FA,GE� <br />
