Notice of Open House: Rapid City Area Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan
April 12 2011, 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM, 1st Floor Community Room
Project Description
City of Rapid City and Rapid City Area Metropolitan Planning Organization with Alta Planning + Design are conducting a planning effort to improve the bicycling and walking environment in Rapid City. The Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan will identifies strategies to make bicycling and walking safe, convenient, and attractive travel modes in Rapid City and its surrounding communities.
Open house attendees will be asked to share their thoughts on the preliminary recommendations contained in the public review draft Rapid City Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan. The draft plan lists recommended bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure projects, including shared-use paths, sidewalks, and on-street bikeways. The plan prioritizes key connections to surrounding communities, existing shared-use paths, schools, parks, and other community destinations. The plan also addresses education, encouragement, and enforcement strategies to improve the overall environment for non motorized travel in Rapid City.
