WHAT IS THE PROJECT?

The St. Tammany Parish Government, in collaboration with local stakeholders, is developing a Comprehensive Pedestrian & Bicycle Master Plan to enhance our community’s pedestrian and cycling infrastructure. This initiative aims to identify gaps in the transportation network and assess land use, recreational facilities, and barriers to access while prioritizing resident input. Through workshops, surveys, and pop-up events, the Project Team will gather community feedback on preferred routes and improvements, ensuring that the final recommendations reflect the needs of our residents.

The Master Plan will propose an interconnected network of on- and off-street facilities, complete with cost estimates for each project. The Project Team will prioritize initiatives based on community impact, and funding alignment, while also identifying potential funding sources for implementation. By integrating community insights and adhering to federal engagement requirements, the St. Tammany Parish Comprehensive Pedestrian & Bicycle Plan aims to create a sustainable, connected, and accessible transportation system for current and future residents.

Project Area of Interest

The St. Tammany Parish Comprehensive Pedestrian & Bicycle Plan project area of interest includes the unincorporated areas of the parish. Incorporated towns and cities in St. Tammany Parish are excluded from the project’s area of interest due to their status as separate legal jurisdictions.

PROJECT TIMELINE

YOUR VOICE IN PREPARING

THE MASTER PLAN

The website is designed to provide community members several opportunities to express their opinions about pedestrian and bicycle travel in St. Tammany Parish. It is intended to ensure the Master Plan is rooted in community input.

At each stage of the planning process, public input will bring critical feedback to the Project Team and will, along with technical analysis, drive the plan recommendations. Frequently updated information about existing pedestrian and bicycle facilities, planning updates, an online survey, and online maps that can be marked up will be available on the website.

The final Master Plan, including downloadable reports and implementation steps will be hosted on the website.
