Hennepin County Pedestrian Plan

The county is in the process of creating its first official pedestrian plan. The goal is to increase walking and pedestrian safety throughout the county’s roadway system by creating a plan that will include strategies to support walking through infrastructure, facilities, enforcement, education and evaluation.

The pedestrian plan will ultimately become part of the overall Hennepin County Transportation Systems Plan, as well as complement the county’s Complete Streets policy. Creation of the plan is funded by a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Community Transformation Grant and the Statewide Health Improvement Program.

Next Steps

In Summer 2013, the plan will be finalized and presented to the County Board for its approval.
