Comprehensive Transportation Plan (CTP) Excerpts
Bicycle Network
Citywide bicycle network was created that uses the existing
street system and proposed trails and off-street shared paths to
create an interconnected system that allows for all types of users
to safely and conveniently travel across the City using the
network. Directness and connectivity: Bike facilities should provide the
most direct and safe route to community destinations. Bike
facilities should also connect to one another to create a
complete and connected network. On-street bike lanes are proposed to be incorporated into the
roadways along major routes through the City.

Dunwoodys Complete Streets Policy
Adopted in August, 2011 based on recommendations from the
Comprehensive Transportation Plan
Roadway projects should provide appropriate accommodations for
all users of the transportation system, including pedestrians,
bicyclists, mass transit riders, people with disabilities, senior
citizens, motorists, freight providers, emergency responders, and
adjacent land owners
