Abstract:

To provide opportunities for their citizens to exercise, communities set aside areas for walking or bicycling. Planning for bicycling dates back to the 1970s, while pedestrian planning did not begin until 2004. The authors provide an overview of the seventy-two plans currently in use in the state.
