Town Hall Meetings to Focus on City’s Proposed Hike and Bike Master Plan

At two upcoming town hall meetings, Arlington residents have opportunities to learn details and offer input about the proposed Hike and Bike Master Plan, which is under consideration by the City Council.

As part of the city’s Thoroughfare Development Plan, this master plan is being developed to guide development of off-street trails and on-street facilities for hiking and biking within the city limits of Arlington. The plan includes recommendations for sidewalks, intersection improvements, programs and policy development.
The public can view an informational brochure and read the proposed Hike and Bike Master Plan at http://www.arlingtontx.gov/planning/HikeandBike.html.
