Presentation Transcript

  1. Regional Trails & Regional Bicycle Transportation Network • Regional Trails developed primarily for recreation purpose; multi-use, off-road facilities • RBTN developed to improve regional bicycle transportation • Significant overlap between the two systems

  2. Regional Bicycle System Study • Defines a Regional Bicycle Transportation Network (RBTN) as an element of the regional transportation system. • RBTN augments the Regional Trails system by including on-road bikeways. • RBTN included in draft 2040 TPP

  3. Regional Bicycle Transportation Network Purpose • Provide integrated, seamless network of on-and off-road bikeways • Provide the “backbone” arterial system for regional bicycle transportation • Connect to and between regional job concentrations and activity centers

  4. Proposed Regional Bicycle Transportation Network • Network Development Factors: • Regional job concentrations • Other regional destinations • Bicycle travel demand • Connections to transit system • Future population density • Public input

  5. Jurisdiction • Regional trails - 10 regional park implementing agencies • RBTN • Local or state roadway authorities (for bikeways within road right of way) • Regional park implementing agencies (for regional trail segments of the RBTN)

  6. Funding for Regional Trails • Regional Parks System funding • State and Met Council bonds • Parks and Trails Legacy Fund • Regional park implementing agency funds • Federal transportation funds for regional trails providing a transportation function

  7. Funding for the RBTN • Federal transportation funds • Awarded by Transportation Advisory Board (TAB) through competitive process • State and local transportation funds • Regional Park System funds if RBTN segment is also a designated regional trail
