Description
The Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) is seeking proposals from firms or teams of firms experienced in transportation policy, active transportation planning, and landscape architecture to support ARC in developing three interrelated but distinct plans: Regional Trail and Bicycle Facilities Network Plan, South Metro Trail and Bicycle Facilities Network Plan, and Flint River Trail Plan. These plans will serve as a comprehensive update and strategic vision for expanding the region's trail and bicycle facility network. The selected firm will be responsible for conducting stakeholder engagement, existing conditions and needs assessment, literature review, and peer region comparison, among other tasks.
• The Regional Trail and Bicycle Facilities Network Plan will guide the expansion and enhancement of a connected, safe, and equitable trail network across the 19-county Atlanta MPO area.
• The South Metro Trail and Bicycle Facilities Network Plan will establish east-west linkages between the Flint River Gateway Trails and two major regional corridors.
• The Flint River Trail Plan will reconnect Atlanta's Southside communities along the Flint River, providing new and improved access to essential destinations.
The project is expected to be completed by May 31, 2028, with a budget of approximately $3,500,000.
