Accommodating Bicycle and Pedestrian Travel: A Recommended Approach is a policy statement adopted by the United States Department of Transportation. USDOT hopes that public agencies, professional associations, advocacy groups, and others adopt this approach as a way of committing themselves to integrating bicycling and walking into the transportation mainstream.
This is a portion of the Kalamazoo River Valley Trailway Master Plan. It defines various trail types, designs, and treatments — both on-road and off.
Design guidelines for roadway cross sections (including sidewalks and bike lanes), tee intersection crosswalks, refuge islands, and roundabouts.
TE funds may not be used for routine maintenance (except as explained in Maintenance and Operations). However, TE funds may be used for major resurfacing, rehabilitation, or reconstruction for trails, sidewalks, bridges, buildings, or other structures.
