WCCOG Bicycle and Pedestrian Planning

Bicycle and Pedestrian Planning
WCCOG can works with interested in communities to prepared bicycle and pedestrian needs assessments and walkability audits either as standing alone documents or as components of a Comprehensive Plan.

The following bicycle and pedestrian assessments and walkability audits were conducted in 2009 with funding from the Maine DOT.

In 2011 WCCOG prepared a Village Bicycle and Pedestrian Access Plan for the six communities of Cherryfield, Harrington, Columbia Falls, Whitneyville, East Machias and Dennysville.

Village areas in these six communities in Washington County, Maine were selected for inclusion in this plan due to their location on or along the Down East Sunrise Trail. The Sunrise Trail is an 85-mile, off-road, multi-use trail between Ayers Junction in Charlotte, Maine and Washington Junction in Hancock, Maine.

Please contact Judy East (454-0465) with questions about bicycle and pedestrian planning in your community.

The Downeast Sunrise Trail is a 80-mile off-road trail from Ayer's Junction in Charlotte to Washington Junction in Ellsworth. For more information about the Sunrise trail, click here.

The East Coast Greenway is envisioned as an off-road urban trail connecting Calais, Maine to Key West, Florida. Completion of the Down East Sunrise Trail will create the single longest stretch of off-road trail along the East Coast Greenway in Maine. /font>

WCCOG has worked with the Maine DOT, DOC, Sunrise Trail Coalition and East Coast Greenway to review and prepare regional routing studies and trail assessment associated with the Sunrise Trail and East Coast Greenway segments in Washington County.
