| | Sec. 1. Study required. Resolved: That the Department of | Transportation shall conduct a study of the feasibility, benefits | and cost of constructing a network of off-road bike and walking | paths along the commuting corridors with the highest volume of | traffic in the State. This study must: |
|
| | 1. Identify and map out the routes on which the greatest | number of state residents commute to work each day; |
|
| | 2. Identify the routing possibilities and obstacles to | constructing off-road bike and walking paths that could be used | for alternative means of transportation to work; |
|
| | 3. Estimate the number of persons likely to use such paths | for commuting, fitness or recreational purposes; and |
|
| | 4. Estimate the cost of constructing such a path network. |
|
| | The Department of Transportation shall submit a report on the | results of this study to the Joint Standing Committee on | Transportation on or before January 15, 2006. |
|
| | This resolve requires the Department of Transportation to | conduct a study on the feasibility, benefits and cost of | constructing a network of off-road bike and walking paths along | the commuting corridors with the highest volume of traffic in the | State. |
