First ever Missouri bicycle/pedestrian strategic plan is now official
Missouri’s Trailmap for Nonmotorized Transportation
is a plan created by the Missouri Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) to make Missouri a great place in which to walk and ride a bicycle by indicating needed improvements for bike/ped safety, accommodations, facilities and amenities.It is the first-ever comprehensive strategic plan for bicycling and walking in Missouri.
It addresses all aspects of bicycling and walking in Missouri--facilities, planning, safety, education, and encouragement.
Many groups and organizations were involved with giving input to the plan, from bicycle and pedestrian advocates to local, state, and federal agencies.
The strategic plan has now been approved and is posted on the MoDOT web site.
The adoption of the plan will give us a great amount of leverage in working to get policies and programs adopted that are consistent with the plan.
The plan can be downloaded from MoDOT's website (PDF file).
UPDATE, 2015: Although the plan was finally published to MoDOT's web site, the agency, under the leadership of Director Pete Rahn, soon made it clear that it had no attention of considering the plan for official adoption, or working seriously or systematically to implement it.
Missouri still lacks a statewide bicycle and pedestrian plan. Creation, adoption, and implemention of of such a plan is still among our very highest priorities with MoDOT, as of October 2015.
The momentum in the statewide bicycle and pedestrian plan that was so evident in the mid 2000s was effectively killed for more than a decade under Rahn's leadership.
