The study team will collect data on current conditions and travel patterns, perform onsite observations, and engage with people across the region to identify priorities and better understand community needs. The study's data will be used to develop a future strategic plan for preserving nonmotorized connectivity with a rightsized network of pedestrian bridges and other active transportation facilities.
