The Village of Bartonville (referred to in this document as “the Village”) is requesting assistance with the development of an Active Transportation Plan (ATP). Through this plan, the Village intends to improve existing bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure in anticipation of a growing demand for alternative transportation options. The purpose of this ATP is to modernize transportation in the Village by identifying gaps in service, analyzing the efficiency of current and proposed pathways, and assessing the effectiveness of prospective infrastructure improvements. The Village recently updated its Comprehensive Plan. From this planning process, the Village realized its vision of connecting the community’s anchor institutional assets, such as the schools, library, park facilities, and employers. To bring this vision one step closer to reality, the Village is seeking help from a consulting team to further expand on this vision and develop an ATP that encapsulates the Village’s vision, project recommendations, programs, policies, and strategies. The ultimate goal is to create a safer, more comfortable, more connected environment for active transportation.
