Glenn Baeske / Huntsville Times - The state’s proposed plan assesses current biking and pedestrian activities and will be used in development of facilities for bikers and walkers.

HUNTSVILLE, AL – Bicyclists, pedestrians and others interested in the state’s proposed Statewide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan can attend a public involvement meeting in Huntsville next month.

The Huntsville meeting will be the fourth that the Alabama Department of Transportation will hold to gather public comments on the plan, which is part of the DOT’s Statewide Transportation Plan. Meetings are being held across the state.

The meeting here will be in the city engineering building at 320 Fountain Circle on Feb. 25. It will be held on the first floor, from 5 to 7 p.m.

The proposed plan is a comprehensive one that will address various aspects of developing facilities and programs for bicyclists and pedestrians.

DOT representatives will be present to discuss the plan and to answer questions.

The draft plan will be available for review on the DOT Web site atdot.state.al.us and at each of the nine DOT division offices across the state.
