Regional Pedestrian Plan (2008)

The Humboldt County Pedestrian Plan guides future development and pedestrian infrastructure in the county. The Plan aims to make walking an integral transportation mode in Humboldt County by proposing improvements to the pedestrian network. This Pedestrian Plan has been developed with input from the public, local jurisdictions, and an inventory of existing conditions to help develop sage and comfortable walking environments.

Humboldt County residents have identified the need for safer, more interconnected pedestrian facilities through participation in organizations that promote non-motorized transportation alternatives. These include Tri-County Independent Living, Area 1 on Aging, Senior Resource Center, Lighthouse for the Blind, Humboldt Partnership for Active Living, Trails Trust of Humboldt Bay, and Green Wheels. Specifically, these grassroots efforts have facilitated trail development, support for the expansion of the Hammond Coastal Trail, and participated in and supported pedestrian facility improvements.
