Nonmotorized transportation, in the form of pedestrian, bicycle and equestrian travel in the City of Covington, should be safe. The prevention of accidents is a paramount element in the design and operation of all City transportation facilities as well as in developed and newly developing neighborhoods in the City. This policy is consistent with the the City of Covington comprehensive plan and the plans and programs for City parks and recreation. Therefore, it is the intent of the City of Covington Council to seek a coordinated administration of these nonmotorized transportation goals and policies through the development of a functional plan which defines service levels, facility standards, funding mechanisms, project engineering, and design and operation to be conducted through a public review process.
