North Central Wisconsin Regional Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan

The North Central Wisconsin Regional Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan is one of the first steps to implementing the Regional Livability Plan. This plan will analyze bicycle and pedestrian transportation throughout the Region, and recommend policies, programs, and facilities to improve the safety, viability, convenience, and attractiveness of bicycling and walking for transportation.

This Regional Plan is intended to bridge the gap between the largely policy-based State plans and local community planning for bicycle and pedestrian networks. Many communities and counties within our Region have invested in bicycling and walking improvements, but these improvements often end at the boundary of the jurisdictions that planned them. This Regional Plan serves as a guide to help these communities and counties connect across their boundaries to form a complete Regional network of safe walking and bicycling.
