The goal of the Project is to update the Active Transportation section (including Pedestrian, Bicycle and Transit modes) of Washington County’s Transportation System Plan and other policy documents and guidelines to support safe, convenient and accessible pedestrian and bicycle travel. This includes revising modal plans, networks and strategies to be inclusive of complete street principles, provide safe access to priority destinations through a prioritized list of projects and incorporate neighborhood bikeways; consolidating existing bike/ped facility design guidance documents; clarifying protected bicycle and trail design options for adoption into County’s standards; establishing area context types that inform cross-section design details for major roadway projects; and developing a maintenance strategy to better account for lifecycle cost and clarify staff and equipment needs.
