See the Oregon Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan for details.
Inadequate facilities discourage users and overdesign wastes money and resources.
Older local plans sometimes do not address these concerns, or may have out-dated bike route designation and design. Connectivity is important, but a community starting a bikeway or walkway system with its first project should be encouraged. Avoid isolated projects that lead nowhere. When providing a network of bikeways or walkways, main roads should be addressed first. One important goal is to offer transportation choices.
