Purchase space annually in local visitor publications to publish route map 4. At each map sign locations, place a voluntary donation box, similar to those used for the city's winter ski and snowshoe trail system to attract revenue for path improvements. 5. In FY 1999, establish route designation with signage as indicated in attachment A. 6. Every three years and Review route designations, update route system, and reprioritize Objective V.

Require that construction of bike ways (path, lane or route, see attached definitions) conforming to the standards set forth in (a) be factored into any current and future road construction plan involving arterial and collector streets designated in the Bike Master Plan where suitable right of way exists, effective beginning fiscal year 1999.
