The Citywide Pedestrian & Bicycle Safety Action Plan (also known as the Citywide Active Transportation Plan) will be a policy guide that assists in the development of equitable transportation improvements for non-vehicular transportation. It will envision a safe, comfortable, and connected transportation network that supports multi-modal trips and human-powered mobility options throughout the community. The plan will support the City’s sustainability goals by encouraging more residents to take trips to work, the grocery store, medical appointments, and visits to friends and family by foot or bike rather than by vehicle resulting in lower greenhouse gas emissions and improved air quality. The active transportation planning process will evaluate current conditions and identify opportunities for non-vehicular infrastructure improvements that connect key City assets such as parks, greenspaces, schools, commercial business districts, and employment centers including the industrial core. This will provide greater mobility and safety to those who do not have access to, do not desire to, or cannot afford to have a vehicle as their primary mode of transportation. The planning process will be led by the Cuyahoga County Planning Commission thanks to a successful 2022 Community Planning grant application and award.
