Description of resource
This guide tells you how to help create places for people to walk and bicycle. This doesn't just mean special trails, though those might certainely be an important element of an overall plan. Creating an active community enviornment means taking a look at the broader scope of where there are, and aren't, opportunities to safely walk and bicycle. It involves land use design, retrofitting the transportation infrastructure, funding and much more.
