• Abstract:
  Many manuals, handbooks and web resources exist that provide guidance on planning for and designing bicycle and pedestrian facilities. However few of these resources emphasize program and infrastructure characteristics most desired by current (and potential) walkers and cyclists. This study highlights practices in the California communities of Davis, Palo Alto and San Luis Obispo, cities known for being bicycle- and pedestrian-friendly. The case studies illustrate how these urban communities have successfully integrated non-motorized transportation modes into their physical infrastructure and effectively educated residents and employees.
