Chapter 4 TRANSPORTATION <br />4.4 .2 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 />Table 4-3 Bicycle Accommodation Descriptions <br />LOS Description <br />• • • <br />Installation of facilities that provide more <br />separation from vehicle traffic. <br />Maintain existing bicycle infrastructure and support <br />city and regional entities in implementing <br />improvements . <br />No maintenance of existing bicycle facilities, <br />allowed to decay. <br />4.4.3 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 />Page 49 <br />Table 4-4 Transit Accommodation Descriptions <br />LOS Description <br />• • • <br />Work with transit to accommodate access to transit <br />service expansion . <br />Work with transit to maintain existing transit <br />service . <br />Failure to partner with transit operator. <br />KITTITAS COUNTY ~ <br />-----------------------------C-o-mpreh;-;;ive Plan [i]
