  • Chesterfield County Bikeways and Trails Plan
    CHESTERFIELD COUNTY BIKEWAYS AND TRAILS PLAN Draft February 2015 Photo by Jim Waggoner Chesterfield County Planning Department CHAPTER X : BIKEWAYS AND TRAILS PLAN Overview Encouraging a safe and accessible bicycle and pedestrian friendly community is an important part of keeping Chesterfield County an attractive, desirable and healthy place to live, work, shop and recreate. Communities across Virginia and the nation are realizing that biking and walking amenities have a bigger impact than improving the safety of cyclists, walkers and motorists; they are economic development tools that attract new business, provide tourism destinations for visitors and aid in the physical and mental health of their residents. This plan sets the stage to develop a core network of countywide bikeways and trails that address both transportation and recreational needs. Implementation of this plan will provide a safe and comfortable network to walk and bike as viable alternative transportation choices and connect residential areas to destinations such as shopping, services, parks, libraries, jobs and schools. The purpose of this plan is to identify the core network of bikeways and trails, establish design guidelines for the various facility types and recommend policies and ordinances that will develop and enhance this network. This plan supports many of the goals of the Comprehensive Plan including providing a high quality of life for residents and attracting visitors and businesses to our unique environmental, historical and cultural resources. HOW TO USE THIS CHAPTER This plan provides guidelines and recommendations that should be implemented when considering development proposals or public infrastructure projects. The general location of the core network has been identified in this plan, and new rezoning, development plans, and public facility and infrastructure projects should align with this plan by providing facilities to accommodate and enhance the bikeways and trails network.

This is your copy of the annual Let's Go Camping Guide. The National Capital Area Council Order of the Arrow Amangamek-Wipit Lodge updates this guide annually. This guide is intended to support the unit camping program by providing leaders with a directory of nearby campgrounds. The guide is organized into three sections. Section I lists public campgrounds in Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. Section II covers campgrounds administered by the Boy Scouts of America in Maryland, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia. Section III provides a place for leaders to record their favorite campgrounds for future reference. Many people have provided listings to this year's edition of the guide and we are grateful to all who have contributed. However, this guide is far from a complete listing of the camping resources available to NCAC units. If you would like to add a listing or if you discover a listing in need of correction please contact Philip Caridi at your convenience at [email protected]. Together we can make next year's guide even more useful.
