Plan Purpose
This plan is a strategic guide for the expansion of bicycle and pedestrian facilities in the Greater Burlington area. This plan is intended for the City of Burlington, the City of West Burlington, and Des Moines County Conservation. This plan identifies specific goals for developing multi-use paths (trails), wide sidewalks, bike lanes, and dedicated share-the-lane facilities. It describes the benefits of outdoor recreation and alternative transportation methods. The plan outlines how these projects will improve residents’ quality of life, help attract new people to the community, and strengthen the region’s desirability and economic development opportunities.
