Dillsboro, IN
Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan
HWC led the four-month development of Dillsboro’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan, designed around a primary east-west route, with the intent to fill in the missing key gaps that connects the elementary school, library, and community park. New sidewalk extensions were also proposed to serve existing and planned residential developments so that residents of all ages and abilities can choose walking or biking knowing that it is safe and convenient. The master plan was specifically prepared with a focus on realistic implementation possibilities. Nine priority projects were identified, with each addressing a particularly problematic intersection crossing, sidewalk gap, or much needed extension to serve a key destination.
This project was funded with a grant from the Indiana Department of Health’s Division of Nutrition and Physical Activity and was led by a local advisory committee.
