The survey on the next page asks you to share your insights as the users and potential users of sidewalks, bike lanes and trails throughout Washington County. We will ask you the places you go—or would like to go--and how you get there. What are some areas where walking, biking, or using a mobility device could be made safer and easier, based on your experience?
Your input will help us size up how community needs may be growing or changing, and guide us as we create recommendations to support users of our non-motor vehicle travel facilities.
Washington County has undertaken many surveys and applied a number of plans over the years related to active transportation. Over time, community needs and desires change so it is important to continually reassess needs and define updates to suit our growing County.
