The Maryland-National Capital Park
and Planning Bicycle Master Plan team has evaluated more than 3,500 miles of
roads and trails in the County to determine the amount of traffic stress that
people experience when bicycling on them. The map is intended to help planners
understand impediments to bicycling and to identify and prioritize the changes
that are needed to create a low-stress bicycling environment for the 50 percent
of adults who say they would be interested in bicycling, but do not currently
ride because they are concerned for their safety. See the map.
In addition, help from the public
is requested to identify existing off-road bicycle connections that are not
currently reflected on the map. These include connections such as 1) paths
between cul-de-sacs, 2) bikeable routes through public spaces, and 3)
connections between neighborhoods. Click on the map to provide information
about the connection.
