“On any given day, hundreds of pedestrians can be observed in<br />
downtown Aiken and in areas of North <strong>Augusta</strong>. Sidewalks and<br />
crosswalks have existed in the downtown areas in many cases since the<br />
early history of the cities. Both North <strong>Augusta</strong> and Aiken have taken<br />
steps to preserve and improve the pedestrian friendliness of their central<br />
business districts and North <strong>Augusta</strong> has implemented an impressive<br />
network of pedestrian friendly Greeneways.”<br />

Overview<br />
This chapter provides an overview of the major<br />
components of the bicycling and walking<br />
environments of the urbanized area of Aiken<br />
County. The data required to assess existing<br />
conditions was collected primarily by gathering<br />
existing regional geographic information<br />
systems (GIS) data, requesting local information<br />
from Aiken County, conducting field work,<br />
and soliciting public input. Provided data was<br />
synthesized into regional databases, mapped<br />
with GIS, and analyzed through nonspatial<br />
and spatial tools, including spatial modeling.<br />
Additional analysis of existing conditions is<br />
provided in <strong>Chapter</strong>s 4 and 5 which summarize<br />
the quantitative and qualitative needs of<br />
bicyclists and pedestrians in the region.<br />
An overview of the primary sources for<br />
analyzing the existing conditions of the<br />
urbanized area of Aiken County is provided<br />
below. Figures 3-1 and 3-2 depict the existing<br />
bicycling and walking conditions in Aiken<br />
County.<br />
Data Inventory and Background Review<br />
The consulting team requested that ARTS,<br />
Aiken County, and its municipalities provide<br />
data related to the bicycling and walking<br />
environment of Aiken County. Specifically, the<br />
consulting team requested that each agency<br />
provide specific data related to the following<br />
broad categories of existing conditions:<br />
• Transportation (such as streets, bus stops,<br />
sidewalks, and traffic signal locations)<br />
• Land use and ownership (such as parcel<br />
boundaries, and zoning designations)<br />
• Points of interest (such as schools, parks,<br />
airports, and retail centers)<br />
<strong>Chapter</strong><br />
Three<br />
• Physical geography (such as wetlands and<br />
topography)<br />
• Administrative and jurisdictional boundaries<br />
(such as city and county borders)<br />
Additionally, a review of all relevant plans or<br />
planning documents related to bicycle and<br />
pedestrian activity in the region supplemented<br />
the data inventory. Appendix A provides the<br />
full review of documents and other information<br />
obtained from local governments across the<br />
region.<br />
Field Investigation<br />
The project team identified priority corridors<br />
and locations for field review, totaling more<br />
than 100 miles of roadway. Field work allows<br />
for roadway characteristics that may present<br />
opportunities or constraints for bicycle and<br />
pedestrian facilities, such as pavement width,<br />
shoulders, right of way, and driveways, to be<br />
inventoried and mapped. Areas targeted for<br />
field investigation are corridors and locations<br />
with:<br />
• high bicycle and/or pedestrian traffic,<br />
• key connectors between areas of high<br />
bicycle and/or pedestrian traffic,<br />
• areas of high bicycle and/or pedestrian<br />
collisions,<br />
• and primary corridors for accessing<br />
destinations, such as commercial land uses,<br />
transit centers, parks, trails, and schools or<br />
colleges.<br />
Additionally, at the project kick-off meeting,<br />
the steering committee noted a strong interest<br />
in providing connectivity between <strong>Augusta</strong>,<br />
GA and Aiken, SC. The corridors and locations<br />
prioritized for field review addressed the need<br />
for establishing regional connectivity between<br />
neighboring GA and SC communities, as well<br />

Aiken County, South Carolina<br />
as the need for localized connectivity in urban<br />
environments.<br />
Public Outreach<br />
Extensive public outreach is essential to<br />
developing a regional bicycle and pedestrian<br />
plan that addresses the needs of community<br />
members. For this report public input acquired<br />
during multiple public workshops, targeted<br />
focus groups, booths at community events, and<br />
via the project website was analyzed to identify<br />
issues and constraints to bicycling walking in<br />
the urbanized area of Aiken County. <strong>Chapter</strong><br />
5 summarizes the results of the public outreach<br />
process.<br />
Bicycle Infrastructure<br />
Overview<br />
Multi-use trails, such as the North <strong>Augusta</strong><br />
Greeneway and the path along E. Pine Log<br />
Road, have been the primary investment in<br />
bicycling facilities in the urbanized area of<br />
Aiken County. The “Greeneway” is a popular<br />
7 mile regional greenway trail along a former<br />
rail line right-of-way in North <strong>Augusta</strong>. The<br />
land for the North <strong>Augusta</strong> Greeneway was<br />
purchased by the City under former mayor<br />
Thomas W. Greene, for whom the trail is named.<br />
These facilities provide a good foundation for<br />
a bicycle facility network. However, a majority<br />
of the roads in the study area pose numerous<br />
dangers to bicyclists as they travel to and from<br />
destinations. Some of these hazards include<br />
commercial corridors that are designed solely<br />
for motorized transportation, multiple lane<br />
high-speed roadways, and narrow roadways<br />
with little or no shoulders. There is also limited<br />
connectivity between existing facilities and<br />
some barriers to connectivity exist, notably<br />
cul de sacs that do not connect adjacent<br />
neighborhoods.<br />
Strengths of <strong>Existing</strong> Bicycle <strong>Conditions</strong><br />
Multi-use paths: Within the urbanized area<br />
of Aiken County, 18.4 miles of greenways<br />
(including the Greeneways of North <strong>Augusta</strong>)<br />
provide bicycling and walking opportunities for<br />
both recreation and transportation and have<br />
led to increased public support for investment<br />
in bicycling and walking infrastructure.<br />
Paved shoulders: The portion of Aiken County<br />
within the ARTS region bears 8.9 miles of rural<br />
24 | <strong>Existing</strong> <strong>Conditions</strong><br />
roads with paved shoulders. On many rural<br />
roads, paved shoulders are an appropriate tool<br />
for improving the safety of bicycling conditions.<br />
Roadway Network Opportunities<br />
Downtown grid network: Streets within the<br />
downtown areas of North <strong>Augusta</strong> and Aiken<br />
are on a good grid system for all transportation<br />
modes and many have low automobile<br />
speeds.<br />
Roadway/lane widths (Figure 3-3): Many<br />
roadways throughout the region are wide<br />
enough to offer bicycle lanes or other bicycle<br />
facilities without the need to add additional<br />
pavement width.<br />
Low-volume roads (Figure 3-4): The urbanized<br />
area of Aiken County has numerous residential<br />
areas with low-volume streets, low-speed travel,<br />
and inviting streetscapes. This type of existing<br />
network is suitable for bicycling activity, in<br />
particular, and often, walking, as well.<br />
Deficiencies of <strong>Existing</strong> Bicycle <strong>Conditions</strong><br />
Lack of connectivity (Figure 3-5): Though the<br />
City of North <strong>Augusta</strong> continues to develop<br />
Greeneway segments that improve overall<br />
trail connectivity, existing bicycling facilities<br />
are currently disconnected, or in some cases,<br />
isolated. The development of residential<br />
subdivisions that do not have a connected<br />
street grid has added further challenges to<br />
connectivity.<br />
Lack of signage: Limited to no signage is<br />
available to direct bicyclists from one existing<br />
bicycle facility to another or to identify<br />
preferable routes for bicyclists.<br />
Roadway Network Constraints<br />
Connectivity issues: There is a lack of<br />
connectivity between existing facilities and<br />
destinations.<br />
High-volume, high-speed roadways (Figure<br />
3-6): There are several wide high-volume<br />
commercial roadways in Aiken County with<br />
high speeds and little shoulder where bicyclists<br />
are not safe. These roadways are, at times,<br />
the only connection to numerous commercial,<br />
retail, and office destinations. Whiskey Road is<br />
a prime example.

Narrow roadways and lanes (Figure 3-7): There<br />
are also many roadways throughout the region<br />
that are too narrow for bicyclists to travel safely<br />
on them. These roads have little or no shoulder<br />
and have relatively high vehicle travel speeds<br />
which pose multiple hazards for bicyclists.<br />
Banks Mill Road in the City of Aiken is one<br />
example.<br />
Driveway access management: High frequency<br />
of driveways and parking lot curb-cuts present<br />
repeated hazards to cyclists as the automobile<br />
crosses the cyclists’ path of travel. Additionally,<br />
curb-cuts that stretch beyond standard<br />
ingress and egress width add to the hazardous<br />
conditions, making it difficult for a bicyclist to<br />
predicate motor vehicle turning movements.<br />
Roadways currently designed for automobile<br />
only: Many roads were designed around the<br />
automobile and need to be redesigned or<br />
re-striped to become more bicycle friendly.<br />
Narrowing existing lanes and adding planted<br />
medians, sidewalks, and shade trees could also<br />
help reduce speeding and the hazards that<br />
speeding presents to cyclists, pedestrians, and<br />
drivers.<br />
Pedestrian Infrastructure<br />
Overview<br />
The urbanized area of Aiken County features<br />
some areas that are pedestrian-friendly, and<br />
other areas that are not pedestrian-friendly.<br />
On any given day, hundreds of pedestrians<br />
can be observed in downtown Aiken and<br />
in areas of North <strong>Augusta</strong>. Sidewalks and<br />
crosswalks have existed in the downtown<br />
areas in many cases since the early history<br />
of the cities. Both North <strong>Augusta</strong> and Aiken<br />
have taken steps to preserve and improve the<br />
pedestrian friendliness of their central business<br />
districts and North <strong>Augusta</strong> has implemented<br />
an impressive network of pedestrian friendly<br />
Greeneways. Additionally, many intersections<br />
in the region have countdown signals and ADA<br />
accessible curb ramps. This is not the case for<br />
all intersections, however.<br />
Strengths of <strong>Existing</strong> Pedestrian <strong>Conditions</strong><br />
Sidewalks (Figure 3-8): Downtown environments<br />
have a pedestrian-friendly sidewalk<br />
infrastructure and buffered sidewalks exist near<br />
some schools.<br />
26 | <strong>Existing</strong> <strong>Conditions</strong><br />
Some enhancements in place: Many<br />
intersections already contain functional<br />
pedestrian elements including pedestrianactivated<br />
countdown signals. Streetscape<br />
improvements that affect the pedestrian<br />
environment are in place in many areas, as<br />
well.<br />
Downtown (Figure 3-9): The downtown<br />
environment Aiken, in particular, provides very<br />
pedestrian-friendly infrastructure. Sidewalks<br />
are wide and allow space for streetscape<br />
amenities, and pedestrian refuges exist at<br />
many downtown street crossings. Moreover,<br />
active storefronts and first-floor retail create an<br />
inviting ambiance for pedestrians.<br />
Multi-use paths (Figure 3-10): Aiken County<br />
communities have begun to significantly invest<br />
in greenways (and Greeneways) to provide<br />
transportation and recreation options for areas<br />
of existing and future development.<br />
Deficiencies of <strong>Existing</strong> Pedestrian<br />
<strong>Conditions</strong><br />
Lack of overall connectivity (Figure 3-11):<br />
Numerous gaps in the sidewalk system exist,<br />
especially extending away from downtown<br />
areas. This leaves some neighborhoods and<br />
destinations disconnected from other areas.<br />
Many school areas are lacking adequate<br />
pedestrian infrastructure.<br />
Inadequate crossing facilities (Figure<br />
3-12): Incomplete crossing facilities are<br />
commonplace lacking high-visibility crosswalks,<br />
adequate curb ramps, and countdown signals.<br />
Sidewalk condition: <strong>Existing</strong> sidewalk, in many<br />
locations, is cracking, overgrown, or otherwise<br />
in need of repair.<br />
Driveway access management (Figure<br />
3-13): There are a number of locations along<br />
commercial corridors that feature long, wide,<br />
and multiple driveway entrances for parking.<br />
This creates a situation in which a pedestrian<br />
must cross entrances too often.<br />
Policy Review<br />
The existing conditions for bicycling and<br />
walking in the urbanized area of Aiken County<br />
is impacted by existing codes, ordinances, and<br />
regulations. Appendix B of this Plan provides

Aiken County, South Carolina<br />
a comprehensive review of development<br />
requirements related to bicycle and pedestrian<br />
facilities for Aiken County, the City of Aiken,<br />
and the City of North <strong>Augusta</strong>. As shown<br />
in Appendix B, the review was not limited<br />
to land development ordinances of each<br />
jurisdiction; some of these jurisdictions also<br />
have design guidelines associated with streets<br />
and North <strong>Augusta</strong> has a recently-completed<br />
Greeneway, Pedestrian, and Bicycle Master<br />
Plan, which was reviewed, as well.<br />
Key findings of the review are as follows:<br />
• None of the jurisdictions researched have<br />
a Complete Streets Policy nor guidelines<br />
specific to Complete Streets, although<br />
North <strong>Augusta</strong> includes Complete<br />
Streets principles in its Comprehensive<br />
Development Ordinance (CDO)<br />
• Both North <strong>Augusta</strong> and Aiken incorporate<br />
Form Based coding – citywide in North<br />
<strong>Augusta</strong> and in the Downtown District for<br />
Aiken<br />
• All communities still seem to have design<br />
guidelines geared primarily toward<br />
movement of vehicular traffic; however,<br />
North <strong>Augusta</strong> includes Complete Streets<br />
principles in text and tables, though has not<br />
yet followed through in design details or<br />
illustrative sections<br />
• None of the jurisdictions have explicit stateof-the-art<br />
guidance on the design and<br />
implementation of bicycle and pedestrian<br />
facilities in the form of a stand-alone set<br />
of design guidelines, although the topic<br />
is referenced in several of the documents<br />
reviewed<br />
• While the jurisdictions regulate block size<br />
and connectivity ( motorized and nonmotorized),<br />
only the guidelines written by<br />
North <strong>Augusta</strong> would consistently result in<br />
walkable communities, and only in TND “use<br />
28 | <strong>Existing</strong> <strong>Conditions</strong><br />
pattern” areas. In the City of Aiken, adding<br />
additional pedestrian-scale connectivity<br />
within long blocks is left to the discretion of<br />
planning and zoning staff rather than being<br />
required. The allowable maximum length of<br />
dead-end streets is also problematic for all<br />
but the City of North <strong>Augusta</strong>, where it has<br />
not been specified. However, Aiken, County<br />
and North <strong>Augusta</strong> do discourage the<br />
building of cul-de-sacs wherever possible<br />
• None of the jurisdictions reviewed<br />
considered elements such as multi-modal<br />
level of service as criteria for development<br />
review, although North <strong>Augusta</strong> does<br />
prioritize traffic mitigation measures for new<br />
development approvals that includes multimodal<br />
measures<br />
• None of the jurisdictions reviewed included<br />
any strategy for sidewalk or bicycle facility<br />
retrofits on existing facilities and<br />
• The jurisdictions have variable approaches<br />
to regulating automobile and bicycle<br />
parking. In no location is bicycle parking<br />
required by default, and in all but North<br />
<strong>Augusta</strong>, minimum automobile parking<br />
requirements appear to be excessive.<br />
Waivers to these minimums, tend to be<br />
limited to very small geographies in relation<br />
to the overall size of the jurisdictions.<br />
The policy evaluation indicates that Aiken<br />
County and its municipalities could benefit<br />
from guidance and direction related to<br />
strengthening many areas of policy. This<br />
concerns, in particular, the areas of complete<br />
streets, bicycle, and pedestrian facility<br />
requirements and enhancements within<br />
the context of development ordinances.<br />
Additional guidance geared toward retrofit<br />
of existing facilities is also recommended.<br />
Policy recommendations to address these<br />
opportunities are provided in <strong>Chapter</strong> 6.<br />

Introduction<br />
Bicycle and Walk Friendly Community<br />
Assessment<br />
Overview of Bicycle and Walk Friendly<br />
Community Designations<br />
The Bicycle Friendly Community (BFC) and<br />
Walk Friendly Community (WFC) programs are<br />
two national initiatives intended to encourage<br />
cities and towns across the country to improve<br />
the bicycling and pedestrian environments in<br />
their community and to recognize communities<br />
who are successfully doing this. The programs<br />
provide communities with invaluable resources<br />
related to bicycle and pedestrian planning and<br />
also generate positive media attention at the<br />
national and local level for communities who<br />
earn a designation.<br />
The BFC program is administered by the League<br />
of American Bicyclists, a national bicycling<br />
advocacy organization based in Washington,<br />
D.C. Since the program began, the League<br />
has received 490 applications and awarded<br />
190 communities with “bicycle-friendly” status.<br />
In 2011, the Pedestrian and Bicycle Information<br />
Center, based in Chapel Hill, NC, announced<br />
the development of the WFC Program. There<br />
are currently 21 “walk-friendly” designated<br />
communities around the country (as of<br />
November 2011). Table 3-1 lists BFC and WFC<br />
designated communities in <strong>Georgia</strong> and South<br />
Carolina.<br />
Both the WFC and BFC program use the five<br />
“E’s” of bicycle and pedestrian planning as<br />
the framework for identifying successful biking<br />
and walking communities. The five “E’s” are:<br />
Engineering, Encouragement, Education,<br />
Enforcement, and Evaluation. Each program<br />
has its own detailed questionnaire that a city or<br />
town must complete online in order to apply for<br />
recognition. Four levels of award designation<br />
are possible: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum.<br />
Both programs offer an Honorable Mention<br />
category, as well.<br />
Currently, there are no BFC or WFC designated<br />
communities in the ARTS region. Opportunities<br />
to apply for designation are shown in Table 3-2.<br />

Achieving Bicycle and Walk Friendly<br />
Community Designations<br />
A BFC is described as a community that<br />
“welcomes cyclists by providing safe<br />
accommodation for cycling and encouraging<br />
people to bike for transportation and<br />
recreation.” 2 In order to achieve Bronze level<br />
status as a BFC, a community is expected<br />
to show a strong commitment to bicycling,<br />
even if that commitment is in its early stages.<br />
Bronze communities have “room to grow” and<br />
show potential for more successes in bicycle<br />
friendliness, but important steps in the right<br />
direction are already being taken.<br />
The League of American Bicyclists offers the<br />
following summary of characteristics that can<br />
be found in a Bronze level BFC:<br />
• Engineering Community recently<br />
implemented a policy to engineer<br />
streets with the consideration of bicyclists<br />
and/or is beginning to develop a trail<br />
network. Facilities conform to the currently<br />
recognized safety standards.<br />
• Education Community holds bicycle safety<br />
events, provides opportunities for bicycle<br />
education.<br />
• Encouragement Community hosts a Bike to<br />
Work Day or community ride.<br />
• Enforcement Officers are familiar with laws<br />
relating to bicyclists.<br />
• Evaluation & Planning The community is<br />
familiar with and responsive to the needs of<br />

cyclists. A bicycle master plan or chapter<br />
in another document has been developed<br />
and approved. Bicycle mode share is<br />
above average for U.S. communities. 3<br />
To achieve a designation level higher than<br />
Bronze, significant advances within each of<br />
the five E’s must occur. An honorable mention<br />
may be awarded to a community that shows its<br />
potential to fit the characterization of a Bronze<br />
community in the near future. In particular, a<br />
community that has not yet had time to realize<br />
the full impact of important recent successes<br />
would be a likely candidate for an honorable<br />
mention award.<br />
While there is no clear benchmark that<br />
identifies communities within the four levels of<br />
BFC designation, Table 3-3 outlines the average<br />
bicycle mode share found among designated<br />
BFCs around the country.<br />
Table 3-3: Average bicycle mode share among<br />
designated Bicycle Friendly Communities 4<br />
BFC Award Level Average Bicycle<br />
Mode Share<br />
Platinum 9.71%<br />
Gold 5.20%<br />
Silver 2.82%<br />
Bronze 1.10%<br />
Similarly, a WFC is described as “a city or town<br />
that has shown a commitment to improving<br />
walkability and pedestrian safety through<br />
comprehensive programs, plans and policies.” 5<br />
A community seeking Bronze level status as<br />
a WFC should fit a characterization similar to<br />
that of a Bronze level BFC, though relevant to<br />
pedestrian programs and infrastructure.<br />
Assessment of the City of Aiken<br />
This Plan includes completed applications<br />
for the BFC and WFC programs for the City<br />
of Aiken. Blank copies of the BFC and WFC<br />
applications are included in appendix c. By<br />
design, the process of filling-out the detailed<br />
questionnaires is an educational tool for<br />
communities seeking a national designation.<br />
Communities not only learn the variety of<br />

initiatives that contribute to becoming bicycle-<br />
and walk-friendly, but also learn the areas<br />
in which the community excels or needs<br />
improvement. Table 3-4 outlines strengths and<br />
opportunities for the City of Aiken.<br />
The infrastructure and non-infrastructure<br />
recommendations of the Plan, provided in<br />
<strong>Chapter</strong>s 6 and 7 respectively, are based on<br />
the BFC and WFC assessments, as well as other<br />
analysis. <strong>Chapter</strong> 8 includes prioritized action<br />
steps and a timeline for the City of Aiken to<br />
pursue the BFC and WFC designations.
