The following text is for the commemoration of BikeWalkNetwork:

BikeWalk Network, Inc. was founded in August of 2006 to address the implementation of the Bicycle Pedestrian Master Plan (BPMP)that was commissioned and adopted by the Tallahassee/Leon County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO). The BPMP was adopted by the MPO on May 17, 2004.and became part of the Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) used by the City of Tallahassee and Leon County to plan their projects. Since then, it has been largely ignored. BikeWalk Network wants to make sure it gets implemented.

Here is what the BPMP has to say about the BikeWalk Network: The Master Plan proposes a BikeWalk Network as the primary vehicle for implementing recommended education, encouragement and enforcement programs. The Network will connect a wide variety of people from public agencies, private nonprofit organizations, and those with links to the business community, each of whom sponsors or has an interest in the implementation of programs that can support the Master Plan’s program goals.

The top five projects in the BPMP are:

1. Extension of the St. Marks Trail from Gamble Street to Doak-Campbell Stadium.
2. Designation of Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd as a bicycle route from North Monroe Street to FAMU Way, including a pedestrian bridge over the CSX Railroad Tracks.
3. Reconstruction of Apalachee Parkway from Magnolia to Conner Blvd. with pedestrian facilities and pedestrian emphasis at several intersections.
4. Feasibility study on Tennessee Street from Ocala to Magnolia for bicycle and pedestrian enhancements.
5. To balance bicycle, pedestrian, and automobile traffic; to improve traffic circulation; to slow traffic and allow safer pedestrian crossings on the one-way pairs in the downtown (Duval/Bronough and Calhoun/Gadsden).
