Bicycle Transportation Plan 自行车交通规划

Introduction
Bicycling is an important mode of transportation in the Madison urban area and countywide that is available to people
of all ages and socioeconomic levels. Bicycling is a particularly efficient and convenient form of transportation in urban
areas. Like the automobile, bicycling provides a high degree of independence, flexibility, and freedom of choice relative
to schedule and destination.
Recreational bicycling also continues to be very popular. The Madison urban area has 50 miles of shared-use paths,
which are popular for recreational bicyclists as well as commuters. Rural town roads and many county roadways provide
excellent routes for bicycling in the county. Two major state bicycle trails—the Military Ridge Trail and Glacial Drumlin
Trail—run through the county. The newly built Capital City Trail connects to the Military Ridge Trail and the John
Nolen Drive/Isthmus Bicycle Paths.

Bicycle Plan Purposes
Refine the Bicycle Plan Element of the adopted Vision 2020 Dane County Land Use
& Transportation Plan (1997), which provides the overall policy framework for development and transportation improvements within the county.
Serve as a blueprint for continuing to improve bicycling conditions and safety
and increase bicycling levels.
Identify desirable bicycle routes within Dane County, including routes into and out
of the Madison area and connections between cities and villages.
Serve as a framework for cooperation between state agencies, the county, and
local governments in planning for and developing bicycle facilities.
Educate citizens and policy makers on bicycle transportation and the needs of
bicyclists.
Provide guidelines for planning, designing,and maintaining bicycle facilities.

Bicycle Plan Scope and Planning Process
This plan serves to update and supersede the 1991 Bicycle Transportation
Plan for Madison and Dane County. The plan follows the
recommended comprehensive approach to bicycle transportation
planning, covering the “Four Es” of engineering (facility
improvements), education, encouragement, and enforcement.
The plan identifies on-street bicycle facility (generally bike lane/
paved shoulder) needs and recommends off-street paths/trails
and bicycle routes for the Madison urban area and Dane County.
An analysis was done of the suitability for bicycling of existing
roadways in the Madison urban area and rural Dane County.
This information was used to identify on-street bicycle facility
needs, and in particular, travel corridors that serve as barriers
to bicyclist mobility due to their low compatibility for bicycling
and the lack of reasonably direct alternative routes.
Existing land use, transportation and parks and open space
plans have been integrated into the bicycle plan. Recommended
bicycle facilities in these plans have been included in the bicycle
plan to the extent they fit within the regional scope of
the plan.
Along with facility improvements, education and encouragement
are important elements in increasing bicycling while also
improving safety. Together, they can improve the skills and
confidence of bicyclists to ride safely in traffic, which is critical
for increasing their effective mobility. The plan makes recommendations
for building upon current education and encouragement
activities.
and maintaining bicycle facilities.
