Who? The Erie County Regional Planning Commission’s Metropolitan Planning Organization staff is currently updating the Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan. 

What? Staff and the plan steering committee have created two surveys as a way to gather input from both bicyclist and walkers.

Where? It is available on SurveyPlanet.Com until May 19th, 2019. Hard copies of the survey and 2014 plan can be acquired by contacting the Erie County Regional Planning Commission by phone 419.627.7792, or e-mail planning@eriecounty.oh.gov

Why? The purpose of these surveys are to gather information from the local bicycle and pedestrian community. We would love to hear your opinion on where you think planning efforts should be focused. A public meeting will be held later this year presenting the findings from the surveys as well as providing an overview of the plan update process.
