DEVELOPING A VISION
WALK, BIKE, RIDE Mammoth Challenges and Opportunities • Where are the gaps in the walking, biking, riding network? Are there other issues preventing use of these networks? • Where are the most critical nodes? What future attractions should be considered? • How and where should the walking, biking, and riding networks interface with parking? Is there enough parking? • Are their opportunities for integrating e-bikes and car/bike/ride sharing? Who are the users?
DEVELOPING A VISION
WALK, BIKE, RIDE Mammoth Visioning Exercise Four Stations (15 min each): 1. Town Mobility 2. Study Area Active Transportation 3. Study Area Transit 4. Regional Access
Discussion: Identify what is working, where access has gaps, summer vs. winter impacts, connection ideas, safety concerns Report Back: Each group shares big ideas with all
DEVELOPING A VISION
WALK, BIKE, RIDE Mammoth Guiding Questions • • • • • •
Where do people want to go? How many ways can they get there? Where are the gaps in infrastructure or access? Where are the gathering places? What transportation options should be available? Should mobility options be limited to certain areas or routes?
