Project Background
The St. Tammany Parish Government, in collaboration with the Regional Planning Commission and local stakeholders, is developing a Comprehensive Pedestrian & Bicycle Master Plan to enhance the community’s pedestrian and bicycling infrastructure. This initiative aims to identify gaps in the parish’s transportation network and assess land use, recreational facilities, and barriers to access while prioritizing resident input. Through workshops, surveys, and pop-up events, the project team will gather community feedback on preferred routes and improvements, ensuring that the final recommendations reflect the needs of our residents.
The Comprehensive Plan will propose an interconnected network of on- and off-street active transportation facilities, complete with cost estimates for each project. The project team will prioritize initiatives based on community impact and identify potential funding sources for implementation. By integrating community insights and adhering to federal engagement requirements, the St. Tammany Parish Comprehensive Pedestrian & Bicycle Plan aims to create a sustainable, connected, and accessible transportation system for current and future residents.
