Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to identify and analyze specific courses of action necessary to successfully develop independent bicycle and pedestrian facilities. Two specific actions - organizing citizen support and securing funding - were especially investigated because of their relevance to successful project development. Due to the recent proliferation and future potential of bicycle and pedestrian trails created from abandoned railroad corridors, the scope of this study is limited to bicycle and pedestrian tails created from these opportunities. At current rates, approximately 3,000 miles of rail corridors are expected to be abandoned each year, most of which are prime for trail conversion. Already more than 500 rail-trails, totaling more than 5,000 miles, exist nationwide. In addition, rail-trails exemplify the multiuse nature of independent bicycle and pedestrian facilities and are representative of other types of greenway trails.
