Columbus launches website aimed at bicyclists and pedestrians

The City of Columbus has launched a new section of the City website aimed at bicyclists and pedestrians called “Bike Walk Columbus.”

Emilie Pinkston, senior planner with the Columbus Planning Department, says the website features an online interactive map of existing bicycle and pedestrian facilities which will continually be updated to reflect the most current inventory of bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure in Columbus and Bartholomew County. She says this tool can be used at home or on the trail to assist bicyclists and pedestrians with route planning.

Pinkston says the website also features an interactive map of ongoing bicycle and pedestrian-related construction projects. This map is intended to provide up-to-date information on the various public infrastructure projects underway in the City of Columbus and Bartholomew County that include sidewalks, bicycle lanes, trails, and similar infrastructure.

The Bike Walk Columbus website is available at columbus.in.gov/bikewalk/.
