3 MCCORDSVILLE BIKE AND PEDESTRIAN MASTER PLAN SUMMARY
Executive Summary
The McCordsville Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan booklet documents the process and proposes a comprehensive system within the town and connecting to adjacent communities and systems.
The Town of McCordsville is fast growing bedroom community outside of Indianapolis and the second largest municipality in Hancock County, Indiana. McCordsville is located in the northwest corner of Hancock County just south of Geist Reservoir, bordering both the City of Lawrence in Marion County and the Town of Fishers in Hamilton County. The town is conveniently located along State Highway 67 and less than 10 minutes from I-70, I-69, I-465 and State Road 234.
Due to the town’s rapid growth and development, the elected officials, town staff and citizens have increasingly voiced interest and support to create a walkable and bikeable vison for the future of the Town of the McCordsville. The design team worked with the Town staff and the Indianapolis Metropolitan Planning Organization to create a this 5 step process to collect, propose and implement the plan:
1. Review the existing facilities, assets, programs and uses for strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats to inform the planning process. 2. Empower a public engagement process that is collaborative with the Town Staff, Steering committee, stakeholders, community, schools, neighborhoods, and town leadership in a meaningful, innovative dialogue. 3. Utilize technology and graphics to bring life to the storytelling of the existing conditions, gather information, and present the plan. 4. Envision a bold plan that beautifully balances the safety, maintenance, recreational needs, and access while encouraging the increase of pedestrians and bicyclist in the town. 5. Develop a realistic implementation plan that prioritizes action steps and create strategies, short- and long-term phases, and real-world costs.
The proposed plan for this system includes proposing improvements to 12 main corridors and proposing 6 new greenways. Specifically, here are the goals intended to be accomplished by the implementation of this plan:
• Increase the number of people walking and biking for everyday transportation purposes by creating a trail plan that connects people to destinations. • Increase the number of people walking and biking for recreation by creating a trail plan that provides highly accessible and desirable recreation opportunities. • Provide priorities for future bike/pedestrian projects. • Provide feasibility of multi-use trails along riparian corridors. • Establish safe and functional routes for bicycles and pedestrians between community destinations. • Identify “branded” trails within the system that can have additional interest and design elements and a source of community pride. • Recommend policy changes and action steps for a successful implementation.

Summary
Public Engagement Events
The design team attended and organized a variety of methods to gain public imput on the McCordsville Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan. Two of the plan’s overall goals specifically relate to the public engagement:
1. Empower a public engagement process that is collaborative with the Town Staff, Steering committee, stakeholders, community, schools, neighborhoods, and town leadership in a meaningful, innovative dialogue. 2. Utilize technology and graphics to bring life to the storytelling of the existing conditions, gather information, and present the plan.
To meet these goals, the design team utilized the following means to engage the public and display the design process: • Steering Committee - a group of town staff, town officials, interest groups and private citizens to help guide the design team. • Stakeholder Group - a group of stakeholders from interest groups, business entities, and adjacent municipalities to provide input and guidance in the overall plan • Pop-up Engagement - our team had a booth at the McCordsville Pathway to Fitness 5K to engage citizens and gather input. • Project Website - provided a 24/7 portal for citizens to visit, see current materials and provide input. • Online Survey - an online survey was published and gathered over 220 results. • Public Approval Process - a public forum to formally adopt the plan for the Town of Mccordsville’s use.

Public Input Conclusions
Public Engagement Conclusions
In conclusion, the public input process was meaningful and guided the design team in the following ways:
• Highlighted known issues and patterns of use within the town that are not readily visible by site visits. • Confirmed problem areas and use patterns that the design team noted. • Provided insights into the community’s culture and opinions of the how the plans would be received. • Confirmed interest from the community to create an improved system within the town. • Helped define destinations, high-use corridors and connection needs to surrounding communities. • Identified priority needs within the system. • Defined the best bicycle facilities to be successfully adopted and used within the community.
This input helped guide the design team and develop the existing conditions and proposed conditions displayed in the following chapters.

! ! 2 Existing Greenway Condition
1 Description:
The “greenways” that currently exist in McCordsville are essentially drainage 3 ditches with little to no paths / trails along side them. 4 However, there are certain areas along 5 W 900 N and W 800 N where these “greenways” interact with the roads in such a way that future “pocket parks” could fit along the roads to create nodes for bikers and pedestrians to gather & socialize.
