Bicycle Master Plans

Delaware County Planning advocates for the safety of travel for all users, including cyclists, throughout roadways and trails in our region.

Bicycling is a viable transportation option for many residents of Delaware County, based on increased national and regional levels of commuter and recreational bicycling. The Planning Department offers its services and expertise in transportation planning to assist municipal planning efforts to make bicycling a safer, more efficient mode choice for traveling.

Create a Bicycle Master Plan

Best suited for a municipal or multi-municipal planning effort, Bicycle Master Plans recommend roadways apt for bicycling by identifying corridors for enhancing bicycle travel and suggesting appropriate facility type improvements to expand and integrate local and regional bicycle networks. Bicycle Master Plans may suggest solutions ranging from traditional on-road bicycle improvements to protected bicycle boulevards and cycle tracks.
