FUTURE CONNECTIVITY PLAN.
The Future Connectivity Plan is a direct result of community outreach and interest in prioritizing pedestrian and bicycle pathways at both local and county-wide scales.
​
Non-motorized infrastructure, such as sidewalks, multi-use pathways and on street bicycle facilities are becoming an ever more important amenity in communities throughout the country. Used for biking, jogging and walking, these non-motorized amenities provide opportunities for recreation and leisure
travel and in some instances provide an alternative means of transportation for those who may live and work in the area.
​
During the FORWARD Kosciusko County process, the continued need for non-motorized systems was confirmed by the project steering committee, community stakeholders and the general public.
​
The Future Connectivity Plan illustrates how broad connections can be made between local communities and county-wide destinations. Additional studies will be needed to finalize routes.
County Future Connectivity
The Connectivity Plan presents a set of overarching strategies to guide the development of walkways, trails and blueways within the County.
​
The plan takes into account the desires and aspirations of local residents and is intended to build upon the local sidewalks and trail systems currently in place
​
A primary goal of the Future Connectivity Plan is to broadly connect all communities and county-wide destinations. The Plan also emphasizes the activation of the Tippecanoe River.
Local Connectivity
Each community contributes to the County's ability to stay connected. For a more specific look at how each incorporated area can work to improve their local pedestrian and bicycle routes utilize the links below.

​
The Town of Syracuse, the Town of Winona Lake and the City of Warsaw all have recent comprehensive plans or bicycle and pedestrian plans that outline recommendations on connectivity. As a part of FORWARD Kosciusko County we are not proposing that these maps or recommendations change.
