Delaware County
Bicycle Plan
Delaware County Council adopted the Delaware County Bicycle Plan on May 12, 2009 (press release).
The plan identifies how the engineering of roads, provision of bicycle facilities and programs, education of road users, and enforcement of road rules can be improved to encourage bicycling in Delaware County. Bicycling is the most efficient and environmentally-friendly form of transportation for short trips. An increase in bicycling will reduce air pollution, global warming, traffic congestion, and health care costs, the last of which by improving personal health. In addition, a bicycle-friendlier Delaware County will increase the County's economic competitiveness with other counties by attracting individuals who, and businesses that, are looking for the type of progressive lifestyle and business climate that bicycling and other like-minded strategies provide.
