Methods should be identified for removing the liability and maintenance costs for public pathway systems from homeowners associations when those pathways are not limited to the homeowners use. Bicycles and pedestrian features, including clearly marked sidewalks and paths and marked cross walks should be included in the construction and reconstruction of roads and bridges. Sidewalk and bike path linkages are important between new residential communities and mixed use (neighborhood centers), schools, recreational areas, and employment centers (e.g. Vint Hill). Sidewalks are needed on both sides of a roadway in new commercial centers, with pedestrian crossings clearly marked or with specialty paving.

New Baltimore utilizes six (6) different roadway classifications; each is described in detail, as follows: EXHIBIT NB-X: THOROUGHFARE TYPES MAP Rural Parkway Through Streets Boulevards Major Avenues Minor Avenues Local Streets Future Roundabout Adopted April 12, 2007, Revised October 8, 2009, Draft Revisions March 1, 2013 45 See Exhibit X
