1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 INTRODUCTION The City of Oshkosh has prepared this 20-year Pedestrian and Bicycle Circulation Plan to develop sound strategies for improving pedestrian and bicycle transportation throughout the Oshkosh area. The planning area includes the City of Oshkosh with connection to surrounding extra-territorial areas. Oversight on this project has been provided by the Pedestrian and Bicycle Plan Stakeholder/Steering Group, a working team formed of interested citizens, representatives from various organizations and city departments. The group was responsible for providing direction and review of plan components through an extensive series of workshop meetings. The process also included multiple public information Meetings and public hearings. 1.2 EXISTING CONDITIONS The Oshkosh area consists primarily of a grid pattern street system that is altered by the area’s waterways such as the Fox River and Lake Winnebago. As a result, bridges are a major concession for bicycle and pedestrian travel. The prevalent transportation pattern evident in Oshkosh is the use of all of the street width for motorized traffic on most major collectors and arterials. In many cases, the street is divided into four narrow travel lanes, with no terrace and with the sidewalk, if present, abutting the street. The Oshkosh urbanized area is connected to the surrounding rural areas by a system of State and County highways. United States Highway (USH) 41 provides the primary north- south route through the area. Travel east to west is accommodated through Highways 21, Witzel Avenue, 9 th Avenue, West 20 th Avenue and South Park Avenue. Bicycle and pedestrian travel is prohibited on USH 41. Currently, bicycle and pedestrian accommodations on the bridges and underpasses of USH 41 are through the newly constructed or planned round-about network but connections to these new facilities are inadequate, and in many cases not present. Census 2000 indicates workers living in the Oshkosh area had an average commute time of 16 minutes. Connections between places of residence to place of employment are integral to increasing mode share. Providing safe and adequate facilities along these “commuter routes” creates opportunities for commuters who want to bike to work the opportunity to do so. Similarly, connections to area trails, such as the WIOUWASH State Trail and the USH 41 Lake Butte des Morts trail will increase comfort levels for bicyclists of all abilities. Transportation systems and land use patterns have a well-documented reciprocal relationship. As Oshkosh has grown, the demands for transportation system CITY OF OSHKOSH PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE PLAN 1- 1
