Proposals to make Berrien Couny more friendly for bicycle riders and pedestrians are in the works.
TwinCATS, the Twin Cities Area Transportation Study, asked a committee take a look at those proposals, reports the Herald-Palladium.
The group -- informally named the Walk & Roll Subcommittee -- is getting help from Southwest Michigan Planning Commission staff as it reviews the proposals. Associate planner Anna Rahtz recently addressed TwinCATS about the proposals.
Excerpt:
"We were presenting it (the draft) to get feedback from the TwinCATS members for the projects in their jurisdictions," Rahtz said. "It was mostly small corrections -- there were a couple of comments about the on-road (trail) facilities needing to be more connected to each other."
The Walk & Roll Subcommittee is studying how to build a safe transportation network for bicyclists and pedestrians -- and, whenever possible, to find ways to connect or extend current trails throughout the TwinCATS metropolitan area, Rahtz said.
