Plan Goals- Create a well-connected walkway system
- Afford accessibility for all pedestrians
- Provide safe streets and crossings

- Identify continuous sustained funding, tools, and leadership for implementing pedestrian and bicycle improvements
The final deliverables for the project will include a Pedestrian, Bicycle, and Traffic Calming Strategic Implementation Plan, an American With Disabilities Act Compliance Plan, and a Safe Routes to School Plan.
