Abstract
This project extended the existing Cyclopath and Cycloplan bicycle routing and planning system. The primary goal
of this project was to develop a statewide bicycle map. The map was intended to serve multiple purposes,
including:
• Giving people throughout Minnesota easy access to bicycle routing information, thus making it easier for
them to utilize bicycling as transportation;
• Supporting long-distance bicycle travel and bicycle travel outside of urban areas;
• Compiling disparate sets of bikeways data -- from different sources and in different formats -- into a single,
unified dataset and tool;
• Serving as a collaborative tool for public participation and inter-agency cooperation.
We achieved these goals by working closely with relevant stakeholders – both end users and planners – over the
life of this project. The result is a version of Cyclopath that:
• Enables bicycle routing for the entire state of Minnesota;
• Features a significantly simplified and improved end-user interface;
• Adds useful new features for transportation planners.
