The goal of this bicycle plan is to improve conditions for bicycling in Clallam County and to encourage more cycling as a healthy, traffic-reducing alternative to motorized transportation. This plan will enhance the transportation system by providing new levels of personal mobility for a moderate cost while encouraging cleaner air and providing increased access to free or inexpensive opportunities for physical activity to promote a healthier population.

The following recommended improvements will make bicycle commuting a viable option for the portion of the County population for which bicycling is an alternative mode of transportation for going to work, running errands, attending meetings, and doing business.

The majority of this plan is oriented towards improvements specifically for bicyclists. However in rural areas, wider shoulders will also benefit pedestrians, since rural shoulders are used by walkers, runners, horseback riders, families with strollers and wheelchair users.
