Tentative Schedule and Subjects

What are the most appropriate ways to integrate bicycle and pedestrian travel within a road right-of-way? What differentiates an “urban greenway” from a street that is comfortable to bike on? This webinar will explore these and other issues facing communities developing a comprehensive trails plan.

Paper and Digital Bike Maps What information should go on a bike map? What scale should it be? How much do they cost to produce? Should it be on-line or printed? This session will look a number of ways to get information bicyclists need into their hands.
