Background:
MDOT is conducting a study of state-owned pedestrian bridges in the Metro Region. The study team will collect data on current conditions and travel patterns, perform on-site observations, and engage with people across the region to identify priorities and better understand community needs. The study's data will be used to develop a future strategic plan for preserving nonmotorized connectivity with a right-sized network of pedestrian bridges and other active transportation facilities.
