City of Arlington Texas New “The Hike & Bike Plan
The city of Arlington currently is developing hike and
bike plan. This plan comes in handy alter all difficult issues the country is
going thru. “Nationally, such issues as rising gas prices, environmental
concerns, and a growing interest in health and wellness are demonstrating the
need for hike and bike-friendly cities.” The plan has now passed the adoption
process. It will improve health and physical activity among residents. It will
also reduce pedestrian and cyclists accidents now that the street will be
marked with lanes for pedestrians and cyclist. A big step for the city to take
is to educate citizens about the benefits of the program.
The plan has different features that include:
• A thorough analysis of current conditions for hiking
and biking in Arlington
• A comprehensive recommended hike and bike network
• Standards and guidelines for the development of a
hike and bike system
• Recommendations on how to integrate hike and bike
policy into codes and ordinances
• Recommendations for programming, maintenance, and
funding
One piece that I will suggest is to implement an
employee ride to bike rule where employee gets an incentive.
Great Job City of Arlington Texas!
