Background

Bicycle Master Plan Overview

Du Quoin, Pinckneyville, and West Frankfort are participating in developing a bicycle master plan that the Greater Egypt Regional Planning and Development Commission is facilitating on behalf of the cities. The purpose of the bicycle master plan will be to guide future bicycle improvements in each community with short, intermediate, and long-term implementation strategies. The bicycle master plan will include an inventory of existing bicycle facilities, an analysis of existing roadways capable of accommodating bicycle facilities, and recommendations for specific infrastructure projects.

While the plan will be for the jurisdictional boundaries of each city, recommended bike travel corridors will consider connectivity to existing and proposed regional bike trails.

The planning process started in Fall 2024 and will be completed by late Summer 2025. Community input will be an essential part of the bicycle master plan. An online community wide survey and two public open houses will allow the public to help shape the plan.

Each community will have its own Bicycle Master Plan document.
