What is the San Gabriel Valley Regional Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan?

The SGV Regional Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan is a comprehensive, regional effort to: 1) develop local pedestrian and bicycle plans for 5 cities (Glendora, Irwindale, Montebello, La Puente, and Monrovia; 2) identify the 50 most feasible miles of potential 'greenways' - off-street walking and biking paths - along waterways in the region; 3) create consistent regional wayfinding signage; and 4) provide bicycle safety classes and support to the public. Project timeline is expected to be June 2017 - November 2018. 

What is a Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan?
A Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan is a comprehensive planning document that guides the development of more walkable, bike-able communities. A plan typically includes goals and objectives; an inventory of existing conditions; community input to identify desirable routes; proposed roadway safety improvements; and policies and programs that support walking and bicycling as safe, comfortable, and healthy forms of transportation, recreation and physical activity.
