WALK BIKE MASTER PLAN MARCH 17, 2017

“Our Walk/Bike Master Plan includes an Equity Action Plan, to ensure that community planning staff consider location equity in distributing walk/ bike improvements across Burlington’s neighborhoods. Planning staff do this by working with community groups to initiate conversations that deepen the understanding of the needs and priorities of populations underrepresented in Burlington’s walk/ bike advocacy community including women, New Americans, young children, and older adults.”

“Dover-Kohl played a vital role in a county-wide bike mentorship as part of WHEELS Florida. We offered experienced bicyclists from our office to help and mentor new and inexperienced bicyclists, women, Spanish speakers, and people of all ages to feel more comfortable on their bikes.”
