PLANNING AND DESIGN OF A PILOT PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE TRACK NETWORK IN NAIROBI, KENYA

After a long period of studies, preparation and decision making, a pilot network of nonmotorized transportation will be constructed in a pilot area as part of a large urban roads rehabilitation program, carried out by the Kenyan Ministry of Local Government. The paper describes the planning, design, concepts and design choices. It also presents a cost benefit assessment, indicating that the pilot network, if managed properly after construction, can give a rate of return on investment of around 30% in direct travel cost savings, plus another 7% in traffic accident savings.
