Project Process

The County is currently in the process of developing the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan. The Master Plan will ultimately inform the planning, design and construction of future multimodal infrastructure.

Projects will vary in terms of level of effort. Short-term projects, such as changes to roadway striping or signage, could be built in the short term (3-5 years). Meanwhile, long-term projects, including new trails and bikeways and intersection redesigns, may take longer to plan and implement.
