Bicycling and Walking Network Assessment

Project Description:

This study will analyze the bicycling and walking conditions in the city, develop future bicycling and walking network recommendations, and focus on how to develop a safer, more connected network of on-street and off-street bicycle facilities, sidewalks, and street crossings throughout Norfolk. 

The focus area of this study is a quadrant in the northeast part of the city - north of Norfolk Avenue and east of North 13th Street/Highway 81 - but will also consider immediate bikeway and sidewalk connections to the east and south within the city. Results of this assessment will be used to develop bicycling and walking network recommendations for the Benjamin Avenue reconstruction project. 

Project Schedule:

• An interactive map will be available for the public to comment on the City website from March through April 2019
• Toole Design will visit Norfolk to gather community input on March 18 - 20
• A community workshop will be held for citizens to  share their vision for Norfolk's trails on March 19
