WSDOT Kicks Off Updated Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan

WSDOT announces the kick off its State Bicycle Facilities and Pedestrian Walkways Plan update. The plan, which is an element of Washington's Multi-modal Transportation Plan, was last updated in 1995. WSDOT has conducted a survey of public opinion about needs related to sidewalks, crosswalks, trails, and bike lanes, which will serve as the basis for the plan. As part of this effort, WSDOT will also propose a strategy for addressing these needs and improving coordination between local governments, regional agencies, and the state.

For updated information related to the draft plan, please call 360-705-7258 or visit the website:

Join WSDOT at one of four scheduled public meetings to discuss the plan, and provide comments and feedback (see dates below). Comments can also be submitted either through the web site or by calling the toll free number: 1-866-375-6729. Comments will be taken throughout the update process. All comments will be considered in the final plan, scheduled for completion in spring 2008.
