Bicyclist and Pedestrian Map Survey

- Category: Maps
In 2010, a map-based survey of bike and pedestrian routes was developed to solicit information about common bicyclist and pedestrian routes in and around Blacksburg, Virginia. Information collected was used to help inform planning decisions. Participation is entirely voluntary, and non-electronic methods of participation are also available.
In April 2011, a new survey will be launched in support of the Town of Blacksburg Corridor Committee Bike/Pedestrian Master Plan Workgroup. View the previous survey at http://www.cgit.vt.edu/ProjectWebs/Bikepedsurvey/
