| | Sec. 1. Study required. Resolved: That the Department of | Transportation shall conduct a study of the benefits, | feasibility 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 | address the following: |
|
| | 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 paths that could be used for | alternative means of transportation to work; |
|
| | 3. Estimate the number of persons likely to use such trails | for commuting, fitness or recreational purposes; and |
|
| | 4. Estimate the cost of constructing such a trail 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, 2004. |
|
| | This resolve requires the Department of Transportation to | conduct a study on the feasibility and expense of constructing | a network of off-road bike and walking paths along the | commuting corridors with the highest volume of traffic in the | State. |
