Understanding the Concept
• The Concept - Context Based Multimodal Approach
• Requires understanding of the function of the roadway within its current and expected future context and the needs of the potential roadway users.

Flexible Environment
• Flexibility creates an environment for designers to use engineering judgement rather then picking numbers.
• Flexibility creates the need to Document the Decision Making Process
- Documenting and communicating assumptions and decisions reduces misunderstandings and wasted work
Provide a clear understanding of the project
Understand who is responsible for the final decision

Key Design Components• Work to Minimize Conflict
Points • Be Cognizant of Barriers • Work Toward Continuity
Where to Begin?
Important Context Questions• Is this bicycle facility in an urban or rural
setting?• Is this bicycle facility identified in a local,
state or regional transportation plan (indicating importance to local bicyclists)?
• What types of bicyclists will likely use the facility (e.g., commuters, young or inexperienced cyclists, bicycle touring, recreational cyclists, disabled cyclists, others)?
• Will this facility be used by others (e.g., pedestrians, equestrians, skaters, dog walkers, etc…)?

Key Context Questions
• Are the Plain People Community considerations along an urban or rural corridor?
• What types of Plain People Community transportation modes will likely use the facility (e.g., pedestrians, scooter, roller skate/roller blade, horseback, horse & buggy, farm equipment)?
• Is the corridor along a primary walking path to the Plain People Community school?
• Are there destination points for the Plain People Community along the corridor (e.g. markets, work places, etc…)?
