(D) Pedestrian circulation. A pedestrian circulation system is encouraged in such development. Walkways for pedestrian use shall form a logical, safe, and convenient system of access to all dwelling units, project facilities, and principal off-site pedestrian destinations and meet ADA requirements. Walkways to be used by substantial numbers of children as routes to schools, play areas, or other destinations shall be so located and safeguarded as to minimize contact with normal automobile traffic. Street crossings shall be held to a minimum. Such walkways, where appropriately located, designed, and constructed may be combined with other easements and used by emergency or service vehicles, but not be used by other automobile traffic. In addition, bike paths may be incorporated into the pedestrian circulation system and are to be encouraged in such development.
