The City of Everett completed an update to the Transportation Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan in 2007. This update resulted in a multi-modal transportation plan that included transit and non-motorized (bikes and pedestrian) modes in addition to roadways.
The master plan was adopted by the Everett City Council as an amendment to the Transportation Comprehensive Plan on April 20, 2011. The plan is used as the basis for future transportation projects and applying for federal and state grant funds. The recommended cross sections are used to improve existing bike lanes during ongoing maintenance projects.
The transportation element of the City's Comprehensive Plan identified the need to improve links between existing bike transportation facilities as well as to expand the bike transportation grid.
