<br /> <br />Chapter 4 TRANSPORTATION <br />KITTITAS COUNTY <br />Page 49 Comprehensive Plan <br /> Bicycling <br /> The cities within the County already offer recreational bicycling options on the various trails spanning its <br />length such as the Coal Mine Trail and Palouse to Cascade State Park Trail (formerly known as John Wayne <br />Trail). Connecting to these routes from other areas of the County can be challenging, however, due to the <br />lack of bicycle infrastructure. Bicyclists can share the road with motorists but high speeds, lack of paved <br />shoulders, and lack of separation from auto traffic can be a deterrent. Table 4-3 establishes guidance in <br />terms of the level of accommodation that the County wishes to provide for bicycles. <br /> <br /> Transit <br />Transit operations are not dictated by the County but Kittitas County can still create an environment that is <br />welcoming to transit. The County will work with Central Transit to assist with transportation <br />accommodations for planned service expansions and identify areas where additional or future service or <br />improvements are needed. <br />Table 4-4 provides guidance for the County’s level of accommodation for transit. <br /> Table 4-3 Bicycle Accommodation Descriptions <br /> LOS Description <br /> Installation of facilities that provide more <br />separation from vehicle traffic. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Maintain existing bicycle infrastructure and support <br />city and regional entities in implementing <br />improvements. <br /> <br /> No maintenance of existing bicycle facilities, <br />allowed to decay. <br /> <br /> Table 4-4 Transit Accommodation Descriptions <br /> LOS Description <br /> Work with transit to accommodate access to transit <br />service expansion. <br /> <br /> Work with transit to maintain existing transit <br />service. <br /> <br /> <br /> Failure to partner with transit operator. <br />
