KYOVA Bicycle, Pedestrian and Complete Streets Planning
KYOVA plans for all modes of transportation including bicycle, pedestrian, and other non-motorized modes and frequently develops planning studies to evaluate infrastructure dedicated to those non-motorized forms of transportation. These studies can include looking at the feasibility of bikes lanes and bike paths, planning crosswalks, evaluating the safety of bike and pedestrian infrastructure, and making recommendations for improvements to those facilities.KYOVA also makes funding available to local government entities for implementation of these types of projects through its suballocated funds. More information on those funds can be found under the Funding Opportunities tab at the top of the KYOVA homepage.
