Council Direction Statement

Many of the projects and programs discussed in the update are identified as priorities in the Comprehensive Plan, Bike Plan, Safe Routes to School Plan or greenway conceptual master plans.  Improvements to the bike-ped network provides multimodal travel options for those with limited access to a vehicle and/or different abilities thereby advancing Town interest toward Race and Equity.  Providing realistic alternatives for driving in a single occupancy vehicle (SOV) advances the Town’s Climate Action goals.
