bikes & peds in Muk

For whatever reason, I didn't realize how much our trail plan really addresses bicycling and pedestrian issues. It's great to see the accounting of existing infrastructure and encouragement of future improvements. However, providing facilities isn't the only way to encourage biking and walking in the city. It would be nice to see some elements addressing encouragement and education related to biking and walking.

Publishing a bike map?
Creating walking routes?
Marketing active bikers and walkers in neighborhoods (let's tell the Lord's family story-- bike commuters, bike tourists....)?
Working with schools to educate young bikers and walkers?
