To meet the transportation needs of
individuals who walk or bike for all or a
portion of their trip, the MPO is recognizing
those needs in its transportation plan. The
creation of a Bicycle Plan is a step towards
achieving a higher percentage of non-motorized
trips by identifying areas in greatest need of
bicycle improvements and focusing improvements
to those areas. |

The purpose of the 2025 Bicycle Plan is to:
- Update the 1997 Bicycle Plan;
- Identify bicycle facility needs based on
quantitative analysis;
- Identify candidate project to address
the bicycle facility needs;
- Prioritize bicycle facility projects;
and
- Develop a Minimum Revenue Plan based on
projected funding.
The MPO prepared a Bicycle Facilities Plan in
1997. This plan examined existing roadway
conditions relating to bicycle travel and
identified a set of improvements to both on- and
off-road facilities for incorporation into the
Transportation Improvement Program. The plan
also identified proposed long-range and
short-range facilities but did not rank projects
in order of priority. Available funding was not
identified and a minimum revenue plan was not
developed.
The 2025 Bicycle Plan builds on the 1997
Bicycle Plan using a series of new quantitative
tools to objectively evaluate the transportation
network. Bicycle projects were ranked creating a
priority listing of roadways for improvements
and associated funding sources were identified. |

The 2000 Bicycle Road Network is based on
the road network developed for the 2025 Long
Range Transportation Plan plus certain
additional roads included in the 1997 Bicycle
Plan. It consists of over 1,500 centerline miles
of roadway that are divided into nearly 3,500
segments for final analysis. Off-road bicycle
facilities in Miami-Dade County have been
identified in the South Dade Greenways Network
and North Dade Greenways Network master plans as
well as other projects suggested by local
governments or the public. Greenway projects
have not been included in previous LRTP updates. |
