Abstract
The Niagara Frontier Bicycle Master Plan was developed to establish a
comprehensive bicycle transportation system in Erie and Niagara Counties.
Potential bicycle trip generators and bicycle demand corridors were identified
along with major new developments, bicycle restricted roadways and abandoned
railroad rights-of-way. Potential routes were evaluated based on selected
criteria and assessed during actual field reconnaissance by bicycle. The
selected routes were based on these evaluations in conjunction with other
existing and committed bikeway projects and coordinated with major new
development and transportation projects to produce a prioritized plan and
implementation schedule. The Plan provides a skeletal system that can tie
together local bicycle facilities. In addition, ancillary facilities, which include
bicycle parking facilities, dual-mode facilities and other support facilities, were
described as well as a bicycle program that discusses the physical, marketing,
educational, and enforcement elements of a comprehensive program. Federal,
state and local funding sources for bikeway facilities were also identified.
Recommended policies are set forth regarding bicycle usage, future bikeway
expansion, updating, and coordination of the Plan.
