6 Our land use policies support walkability Mixed Use Future Land Use Vision for 2040 Town Center which leads to updated ordinances in municipalities.

7 Walk Montco

8 Walk Montco took a closer look at where people can walk

9 and sets up policies for future development Insert Sidewalk policy and cross section from page 65

10 It makes recommendations that are applicable county-wide Four Walk Audits that are case studies Downtown Commercial corridor School Train station Involve engineer, PENNDOT, SEPTA, community leaders, residents, township staff Sought input with online comment maps and open invitations to join the walk audits Municipalities that participated in this effort can use the case studies as a planning document for future funding requests Walk audits help us do better planning of the built environment.

11 Walk Montco Taken from our walk audit at a local elementary school

12 Bike Montco

13 Bike Montco Adopted as the county s bike plan to work toward a safe, efficient bicycle network for everyone Not a trails plan, despite the heavy use of the region s Circuit Trails network This plan highlights on-street and next-to street bike facilities (e.g. bike lanes and shoulders)

14 Bike Montco The planning process had a diverse and large (40+ member) steering committee Plan revolves around 6 themes Connected communities Equity Safety Education & Enforcement Health & Environmental Sustainability Vibrant Economy Case studies that focus on safe bike routes to parks & trails, bike mobility in towns, biking to transit, biking near schools Our bike planning efforts included bike users of all types. Our steering committee was an active one!

15 Planned Bike Montco Network

16 Planned Bike Montco Network

17 The plan s recommendations include feasible solutions A traffic engineer is a critical piece of the walk and bike audit process to provide concept plans for feasible design solutions with cost estimates.

18 Other ways we influence change in the built environment Model zoning & subdivision ordinances Regional transportation planning with MPO (DVRPC) for sidewalk, trail, and bicycling improvements Grant programs for: Municipal-level projects that implement the ideas in Montco 2040 Ordinances that illustrate outcomes Municipalities seeking matching funds for PennDOT s Green Light Go grant program A sidewalk connection to a county trail, funded by a Montco 2040 grant.

19 Next Steps Complete streets policy Ongoing grant making Continue providing walk audits for interested school districts and communities We hope to continue encouraging county residents to stay active and keep walking!
