Countywide Pedestrian & Bicycle Plan

In 2014-2015, Active Living Ramsey Communities led a planning effort to identify a countywide approach for increasing activity through biking and walking.

This is not a typical plan focused on specific projects for an individual jurisdiction, but rather a set of tools, analysis and actions to engage community members at all levels in supporting a place where people of all ages and abilities can safely and comfortably walk and bicycle.

This plan is a resource and a framework for development of a connected Ramsey County where walking and biking are regular everyday parts of people's lives.
