A CASE For a Bicycle Pedestrian, and Emergency access trail>>VV Accommodating Bicycle and Pedestrian Travel: A Recommended Approach is a policy statement adopted by the United States Department of Transportation. USDOT hopes that public agencies, professional associations, advocacy groups, and others adopt this approach as a way of committing themselves to integrating bicycling and walking into the transportation mainstream. see the link I found in Bevs note below on what I found one second google search for bike bridge us dot finds the recommendation below: You can help! READ the website and Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) caredully mobileriverbridge ATTEND public hearings on the draft EIS THAT will take place on Tuesday, September 23 at the Alabama Cruise Terminal and Monday, September 29 at the Five Rivers Delta Resource Center, both from 5pm-8pm. INVITE BIKE PEDESTRIAN RUNNER WALKER ADVOCATES to participate. PREPARE A well THOUGHT OUT RECOMMENDATION. Formal written recommendations will be accepted. Currently the EIS contains a suggestions about Africatown Bridge and Bankhead Tunnel. If a path is in the bridge plan, then these mitigations or alternatives could be required. Mobile city council passed a resolution advocating a pedestrian bike path on the bridge. The mitigations would lose the pedestrian and bike rider joy of a bridge experienced all over, for example at the Golden Gate and Biloxi bridges. I am adding a link below to many examples including the bridge my wife and I crossed over the Columbia River.
