Connecting and Expanding Walk-Bike Corridors
Connecting and expanding walk-bike corridors reduces transportation-
related emissions by allowing urban residents to make trips by foot or bicycle
that they would otherwise make by car. This has a direct, positive impact on
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, as trip emissions are reduced by 100
percent. Research has demonstrated that increasing a neighborhood's
"walkability" by just 5% is correlated with driving 6.5% fewer miles per capita.
This map highlights areas of the City that present opportunities to connect
residents to key destinations via the installation of new biking routes,
improve safety, and fill gaps in the active transportation network and was
created by combining the following Connect criteria:
Enhance Continuity in Existing Trail System
Bikeway and Trail Gaps
Connect People to Popular Destinations
Connect People to Public Transit
Enhance Bicyclist and Pedestrian Safety
Connect Low Income Communities to Job Rich Districts
Improve On Street Active Transportation
Latent Demand
