Subject: Comment on Statewide Transportation Plan

Bicycling Update Subscribers,

A draft of the Minnesota Statewide Transportation Plan is currently
available for public review. MnDOT will be taking public comment on the
draft plan through next Monday, March 30th. To view the entire plan, visit
http://www.dot.state.mn.us/planning/stateplan/download.html. Directions for
commenting on the plan are available at
http://www.dot.state.mn.us/planning/stateplan/comment.html.

The purpose of the Statewide Transportation Plan is to establish a
transportation vision, along with supporting policies and strategies, to
focus investments and services over the next 20 years. The plan is
redrafted every 5 years.

Bicycling is addressed throughout the plan; however there are specific areas
that may be of interest to bicyclists. On pages 10-13 (or 12-15 of pdf
readers) of the Introduction/Executive
Summary<http://www.dot.state.mn.us/planning/stateplan/pdfs/1%20ExecutiveSumm
ary.pdf>, 10 policy areas are described. Details on each policy are
described in Chapter
7<http://www.dot.state.mn.us/planning/stateplan/download.html>. Bicycle
travel is explicitly described on pages 28-30 of Chapter 3 - Transportation
System
Description<http://www.dot.state.mn.us/planning/stateplan/pdfs/3%20Transport
ation%20Systems.pdf>. A Metro District Highway Investment
Plan<http://www.dot.state.mn.us/planning/statepla
%20n/pdfs/AppF_Metro.pdf> is also available for review.

MnDOT is holding two statewide public hearings on the Statewide
Transportation Plan this Wednesday, March 25th (5:00 - 6:00 pm) and
Thursday, March 26th (9:00 am - Noon). Both hearings will be held via video
conference at the MnDOT central office in St. Paul. Visit

details.

Happy Riding,

City of Minneapolis Bicycle Program
