This subchapter discusses recommended design guidelines for the city’s pedestrian and bicycle system. Design recommendations are proposed for each of the non-motorized facility types proposed in this plan, including bikeways and walkways. This subchapter also discusses other important issues that should be considered as the city improves existing facilities and expands the pedestrian and bicycle network. The recommendations described in this subchapter are based on several bicycle and pedestrian design guidance documents, including the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials’ (AASHTO) Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities and Guide for the Planning, Design and Operation of Pedestrian Facilities, the Oregon Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan and other literature describing best practices.
