What is the Walk & Bike Plan?
The City of Hudson Walk & Bike Plan represents the continued effort to provide safe and practical community-wide bicycle and pedestrian connectivity in the community. The 2021-2025 Plan (previously called the Sidewalk & Trails/Connectivity Master Plan) was approved by City Council in February 2021.
The plan is updated every 5 years and takes approximately 8 months to complete, including multiple rounds of Council discussion, public engagement, and plan development. Work is underway on the 2026-2030 Plan. Click to see the map of proposed connections. Proposed connections are currently being evaluated for possible investment but will not necessarily be funded.
Creation of the Plan
Priority connections are identified based on resident input and consideration of several other important factors identified by City Council. The following are examples of factors considered when ranking potential sidewalk segments or trails:
Located along main road or high-speed road
Connects neighborhoods to destinations such as schools, parks, and downtown
Connects neighborhoods to regional trails such as the Bike and Hike Trail
Sidewalk and trail segments that are most desired based on resident input and that satisfy more of the ranking factors receive higher scores. The highest scoring segments are then budgeted for design and construction in the City's 5-year budget plan. Council budgeted $20 million to complete the sidewalks and trails identified in the 2021-2025 Plan. A budget has not yet been determined for the 2026-2030 Plan.
Public Input
Public input was gathered through the project website, virtual focus group calls, and in-person activities from approximately March-May 2024. Past online comments can be viewed within the comment forum and the interactive map on this page. For a summary of all public input, including virtual and in-person events, see the Public Engagement Report. Detailed summaries of all public events are available in the Report Appendix.
