<br />Houston-Galveston Area Council <br />DRAFT 2025 Regional Transportation Plan <br /> <br />. City of Pasadena - The City of Pasadena developed a bikeway plan and <br />incorporated several projects into its Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The <br />projects include construction of shared-use paths and bike and pedestrian bridges, <br />as well as additions to existing trails. The projects are expected to be completed <br />before 2007. <br /> <br />Libertv County <br /> <br />Bicycle planning and facility development in Liberty County has been limited to <br />recreational facilities developed within and in conjunction with park facilities. <br /> <br />Monteomerv County <br /> <br />Most of the bikeways in Montgomery County are located in its southern portion. <br />Approximately 60 miles of 8-foot concrete shared-use paths connect residential areas <br />with schools, village centers, churches, parks and other developments. The majority of <br />these facilities are located within The Woodlands, however, there are also facilities in the <br />communities of Chateau Woods, Oak Ridge North and Shenandoah. <br /> <br />Waller County <br /> <br />Bicycle and pedestrian facility development in WaIler County has been limited to construction <br />of off-road multipurpose trails that are primarily utilized for recreational purposes. <br /> <br />Guidelines for Bicycle Accommodations <br /> <br />Roadway project sponsors should consult the Regional Bikeway Plan, as well as local <br />jurisdiction(s) planes), when considering appropriate bikeway accommodations to determine <br />whether their project limits include any designated on-street bikeways and provide appropriate <br />accommodations to ensure system continuity. For safety and mobility, additional consideration <br />should be given to accommodate pedestrians and bicyclists at intersections, over/underpasses, and <br />where existing bikeways and pedestrian paths cross roadways. <br /> <br />Another important consideration is how bicyclists will access the bikeway system from <br />their trip origins and destinations. Providing better accommodations on the overall roadway <br />network will enable bicyclists to safely reach those facilities that have been designed specifically <br />for their use. Project sponsors should consider providing basic bicycle accommodation on all <br />appropriate roadway facilities. Where on-street accommodations are not feasible, Project <br />sponsors should consider providing safe access at reasonable intervals to the nearest parallel <br />bikeway facility. <br /> <br />Project sponsors should consult H-GAC's Guidelinesfor Accommodating Pedestrians <br />and Bicyclists and AASHTO's Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities, which presents <br />recommendations for on- and off-street accommodations. <br /> <br />Appendix C Regional Bikeway Plan and Design Guidelines <br /> <br />Page 8 of 27 <br />
