Bicycle, Pedestrian and Multiuse Paths <br /> <br />Summary <br /> <br />The 2045 MTP does not specifically list the bicycle and pedestrian projects. The local <br />jurisdictions and counties have identified, and in many cases prioritized these projects and have <br />coordinated their interaction in the jurisdiction boundary areas through the DCHC MPO. As a <br />result, the 2045 MTP defers to those local governments. The financial plan provides $225 <br />million to implement these projects; that is $75 million for each decade in the 2045 MTP. <br /> <br />Local Plans <br /> <br />Bicycle <br />The DCHC MPO adopted a Comprehensive Transportation Plan (CTP) in May 2017 in <br />cooperation with the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT). The CTP lists all <br />the local bicycle projects from the jurisdiction and county plans in the MPO area. <br /> <br /> CTP Web site: http://bit.ly/DCHCMPO-Adopted-CTP <br /> <br />The local plans provide details on the planned facilities at the following links: <br /> <br /> Carrboro Comprehensive Bicycle Transportation Plan (2009) -- http://bit.ly/1PeRnsI <br /> Chapel Hill Bike Plan (2014) -- http://bit.ly/1uGbDZ5 <br /> Chatham County Bicycle Plan (2011) -- http://bit.ly/1TSdlUv <br /> Durham City and County Comprehensive Bicycle Plan (2006) -- http://bit.ly/1UCSlDz <br /> Hillsborough Community Connectivity Plan (2009) -- http://bit.ly/1Uan3VO <br /> <br />Pedestrian <br />Local pedestrian plans include: <br /> Chapel Hill Bicycle and Pedestrian Action Plan (2004) -- http://bit.ly/28gbvqi <br /> Durham Walks!

That policy provides extensive integration of bicycle and pedestrian needs <br />into the design and construction of new and improved highway and other transportation <br />projects.
