Parish Plan Highlights

  • Identifies a 183-mile network of Regional Bikeways that link together communities  within St. Bernard and St. Bernard Parish to its neighboring parishes.
  • The Regional Network includes the 14-mile Mississippi River Trail, the 26-mile 40 Arpent Trail, and 15 miles of other regional bikeways that will link people to the major regional trails.
  • The Local Network includes 29 miles of on-street bikeways that will help bicyclists reach local destinations such as employment sites, shopping areas, schools, transit routes, and parks.
  • Planned bikeways include signed bicycle routes, marked shared lanes, bicycle lanes, neighborhood greenways, shoulder routes, and multi-use trails. All are designed to make it safer for people to travel by bicycle.
  • The plan incorporates the Parish’s 2016 Complete Streets Policy which identifies 47-miles of sidewalks to be installed or improved and 56 specific pedestrian crossing improvement projects.
