3.7 Regional Connectivity
The City of Arlington should look beyond its city limits and link bicycle facilities to neighboring and regional destinations . It is recommended that the City coordinate efforts with surrounding communities to create long distance connections for alternative transportation and recreation . It will be critical to ensure compatibility and connectivity with ongoing planning efforts and actual bicycle facilities that meet at municipality borders .
At the time of this Plan development , multiple hike and bike planning efforts have recently taken place or are underway . It will be important to maintain communication with adjacent jurisdictions and the North Central Texas Council of Governments as these efforts continue . Recently , the Fort Worth Bike Plan and the Mansfield Trails Master Plan have been completed . These recommended networks were taken into account when developing the Arlington network .
Regional greenway corridors such as the Veloweb will draw users from all over the Dallas-Fort Worth region into the area , boosting tourism and interest in trail expansion . Long-range planning efforts should be made to connect Arlington into this regional network .
