BIKEWAY PLAN
There is adopted for the purpose of prescribing regulations for the establishment of routes designated for use by human powered vehicles a bikeway plan for the urbanized area of Kokomo and Howard County, dated February l983, as prepared by the Kokomo and Howard County Governmental Co-ordinating Council. The whole of the bikeway plan, save and except the portions as are deleted, modified, or amended, shall be kept on file in the office of the city Clerk with no less than three copies being made available for public inspection. Deletions, modifications, or amendments to the plan shall be reflected in the copies kept on file by the Clerk upon the promulgation of the deletions, modifications, or amendments recommended by the Kokomo and Howard County Governmental Co-ordinating Council and approved by the Common Council of the city. Subject to the provisions herein set forth, the bikeway plan is adopted and incorporated as fully as if set out at length herein and shall be controlling within the city limits.
(Ord. 5276, passed 4-25-83)
(A) Design criteria set out in the bikeway plan shall be followed should bikeways be constructed. Nothing in this subchapter shall be construed to require the construction of the bikeways unless specific authorization for the construction is granted by the Common Council by ordinance.
(B) Bikeway routes described in the bikeway plan are for purposes of planning and recommendation only. Specific bikeway routes cannot be created without authorization by the Council by separate ordinance.
(Ord. 5276, passed 4-25-83)
The establishment or construction of bikeways shall not expand the liability exposure of the city for property damage or personal injury arising from the use thereof more than that arising from the use of city streets and thoroughfares generally.
(Ord. 5276, passed 4-25-83)
(A) Bikeway routes may be designated by the Common Council without provision being made for funding the construction thereof according to the design criteria set out in the bikeway plan.
(B) Construction may be authorized by the Council at a later date when appropriate funding is available.
(Ord. 5276, passed 4-25-83)
