The bill requires the establishment of bikeways and pedestrian ways in all new highway projects funded by state or federal funds, with specific exceptions.

  • 84.01 (35) (b)

    The department shall give due consideration to establishing → the department shall ensure that bikeways and pedestrian ways are established in all new highway construction and reconstruction projects funded in whole or in part from state funds or federal funds appropriated under s. 20.395 or 20.866.

    This change makes it mandatory for the Department of Transportation to establish bikeways and pedestrian ways in new highway projects.

  • 84.01 (35) (c)

    The department shall promulgate rules identifying exceptions to the requirement under par. (b), but these rules may provide for an exception only if any of the following applies: 2. The cost of establishing bikeways or pedestrian ways would be excessively disproportionate to the need or probable use of the bikeways or pedestrian ways.

    This establishes a process for the Department to create rules that allow exceptions to the requirement for bikeways and pedestrian ways under certain conditions.

  • 84.01 (35) (d)

    84.01 (35) (d) (intro.) and 2.

    This repeal removes previous provisions that limited the establishment of bikeways and pedestrian ways based on local government authorization.

  • 84.01 (35) (d) 1.

    renumbered 84.01 (35) (c) 1.

    This change renumbers an existing provision to accommodate the restructuring of related subsections.
