BIKEWAYS, TRAILS, PARKS & RECREATION MASTER PLAN |
21
Specific suggestions for other desired improvements or destinations included, among others:
•
I would like to see a bike trail from the percolation ponds to the Coyote Creek Bike Trail
•
Hill Road is unsafe as is
•
De Witt could seriously use a shoulder wide enough for a bike.
•
I would like to bike all the way downtown from Paradise Valley on a bike trail
FINDINGS
•
Of those that specified an “other” location, 14% said they currently bike downtown or to
restaurants, but 52% said they would be interested in biking to a downtown or restaurant
location. This is aligned with the comments about trails that indicated there are not enough
trails close to or connected to downtown. (See Table 4 and Figure 5.)
•
Thirty percent of respondents said they currently bike to a park, pool or field, and 33% said
they would be interested in biking to these locations.
APPLICATION OF FINDINGS
•
Responses to questions related to both trails and biking indicate that there is significant
interest in improved bikeway connections to downtown. Given the recent mixed responses to
the road diet in downtown, the community’s preferences for types of bicycle infrastructure
should be further explored.
•
The interest in biking to park, pool or field indicates that opportunities for bike connections to
parks and recreation facilities should be identified.
