This plan, adopted in October 1977, includes <br />objectives, policies, criteria and a plan for a corridor bicycle system for <br />the Metropolitan Area to serve both transportation and recreation functions. <br />The plan, developed by a bicycle system subcommittee, includes sources of <br />funding for implementing and guidelines for use of funds. An important <br />source of funding for this policy plan is the Federal Aid Urban (FAU) program. <br />The bikeway plan will thus serve as a basis in reviewing proposed bikeway <br />projects for FAU funds. <br /> <br />The regional bikeway and trails policy plans were coordinated in development <br />of policies and system plans for bikeway elements. The regional bikeway plan, <br />with its emphasis on bikes as a transportation mode and its relationship <br />~o the FAU program, is concentrated within the FAU boundaries which is generally <br />~he Urban Service Area. This recognizes the increasing role of transportation <br />by bicycles in the area. On the other hand, the regional trails plan, with <br />consideration ~o transportation, is primarily based on the recreational experience <br />and the connection of regional recreation open space areas throughout the <br />Metropolitan Area. In analyzing the two system plans, the bikeway plan defines <br />more corridors within the FAU boundaries (Urban Service Area). The regional <br />~rail plan, on the other hand, identifies a portion of these same corridors <br />wighin ~he FAU boundaries and defines additional corridors outside the FAt <br />boundaries. Those regional trails plan corridors outside the FAU boundaries <br />Likewise are included in the bikeway system plan. <br /> <br />PART IV. PRIORITIES <br /> <br />The following priorities and policies apply to regional trails and their <br />implementation relationship to the other elements of the Regional Recreation <br />Open Space Plan. These will supersede those in the 1974 policy plan and <br />the 1977-81 Five-Year Capital Improvement Program. Funding for regional <br />trails is to be up to $2 million per year, but not to exceed 10 percent of <br />the total funding in any one year. This funding depends on legislative <br />authorization. <br /> <br />Regional trail master plans for funding authorization shall be submitted <br />to the Metropolitan Council for review as to consistency with this policy plan. <br />Such master plans shall be submitted as soon as possible but no later than <br />December 31, 1978. These master plans and funding requests will he given <br />the following priority: <br /> <br />-17- <br /> <br /> <br />
