6.0 Overview
The detailed action steps found in this chapter describe how recommendations from previous chapters should be implemented . It describes how the City of Arlington can turn the vision of a connected network of safe hike and bike routes into a reality . The strategy for doing so involves some physical changes to the roadway environment and other landscapes , as well as new local government policies and programs . Successful implementation will require the dedication of the City of Arlington , the creation of a citywide Hike and Bike Advisory Committee ( HBAC ), and the support of local advocates such as Bike Friendly Arlington . It will be a collaborative effort between a variety of City departments and agencies including TxDOT .
This chapter is organized as a simple guide with key action steps , staffing recommendations , an evaluation and monitoring process , and methods of hike and bike network development . Perhaps most importantly is the detailed action steps table at the conclusion of this chapter that lists tasks , lead agencies , support groups , task detail , and timeframe .
