Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan

Project Overview
Bicycling and walking are not only great recreational pastimes, but are also important means of travel for many people in Colorado communities – including Parker. The Town of Parker continually plans for diverse transportation options including bicycling, walking, public transit and automobiles. The Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan (the ‘Plan’) will serve as the Town’s policy document and ‘road map’ to support safe, comfortable and connected bike and pedestrian infrastructure.
The Plan will be developed as a supplement to the Town of Parker Transportation Master Plan. The new plan will also incorporate the Town’s current Bike Lane Plan and include recommendations to develop a consolidated bike and pedestrian master plan that creates a cohesive Townwide bicycle and pedestrian network for all users.
The Town invites you to join your neighbors and Town staff to help inform and shape the Plan! Please participate by: using our interactive map tool, leave a comment, read the adoption draft (now available for review and public comment using the "Ideas" tab) or just following the progress of the Plan.
Purposes/Outcomes
The Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan is expected to:
- Align Town policy and regulations with the community’s vision & goals for an active transportation plan
- Provide guidance for future development of the bike and pedestrian infrastructure
- Advance interconnectivity of the bike and pedestrian transportation network
- Improve mobility choices and opportunities for walking and biking
- Identify gaps in infrastructure to effectively allocate resources
- Enhance the overall quality of life for Parker residents
The Process
The project began Winter 2020-21 with research, data collection and analysis. Adoption of the Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan is expected in early 2023.
