The City of Keene is seeking proposed scope, level of effort and associated fee for engineering services for the update to the City's Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan. The City's current adopted plan and is overdue for an update and incorporation of newly adopted resolutions, standards and City Council goals and initiatives. The City has been annually updating a rolling list Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan projects which has helped secure funding and gauge the direction the community would like to take with bicycle and pedestrian trails and infrastructure. The plan itself has not been updated in more than 20 years. This plan should include both trail and on-street infrastructure and cover commuting/daily use as well as recreational use and connections. The plan will also include strategies for addressing sustainability, maintenance, availability, accessibility, and to increase community usage of the city's facilities. The Comprehensive Master Plan indicates that bicycle infrastructure is an important part of the city's and region's infrastructure and that not enough attention is paid to both maintaining and growing the bicycle and pedestrian network. A Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan could help the city plan for and implement a considered plan for a network of on-street and protected bike lanes as well as recreational trails. In addition, the plan could help address areas of conflict between various modes of transport and identify both current and future funding sources.
