Desirability vs. Asset Management: Prioritizing Pedestrian and Cycling Infrastructure

This paper compares and contrasts alternative infrastructure prioritization approaches based on transportation policies and discusses community goals, public perception, planning and engineering initiatives, funding strategies, public health, and sustainability. It discusses municipal prioritization of pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure with a focus on the City of West Kelowna, BC as a case study for the development of their Pedestrian and Bicycle Infrastructure Plan. West Kelowna is a newly incorporated City with many gaps in the pedestrian network and few bicycle facilities. The plan shifted approaches from an asset management prioritization to desired facilities and ultimately was adopted with an increased budget from $150,000 to $600,000 for pedestrian and bicycle facilities for a five-year term.
