Winter Park consistently has been one of the top spots in the country to visit. Not surprisingly, a good number of Winter Park residents and visitors enjoy walking and cycling for recreation or transportation.
Winter Park is committed to being a pedestrian and bicycle friendly community. In this effort, a Transportation Advisory Board was created of residents to work with city staff to improve all modes of transportation.
Their mission as it relates to walking and biking is “To create and promote a viable and safe pedestrian and bicycle-friendly infrastructure and promote these modes of transportation throughout the city.“
As a completed plan, the city will now work toward implementing a pedestrian and bicycle facility network linking neighborhoods with parks, schools, and activity centers, as well as providing connections with surrounding communities.
The Pedestrian & Bicycle Spot Improvement Program makes low cost improvements to enhance pedestrian and bicycle safety and convenience for cyclists by allowing them to use the existing street system more comfortably. Projects include:
Access Improvements Adjusting of electronic detection for bicyclists at traffic signals, traffic island modification, etc.
Signing & Striping Motor vehicle warning signs at trail crossings, bicycle lane striping and stenciling, etc.
Bike Rack Installation The city has installed 50 bike racks. Rolling style racks are in parks and open spaces, and hoop racks are in the Central Business District.
Surface Improvements Pothole patching, brick street repairs, etc., have been completed throughout the city.
