BICYCLE & PEDESTRIAN PROJECT MILESTONE LIST
Every year all sponsors of federal and

projects are asked to submit a form updating
NIRPC on their progress. This “Milestone
Summary List” represents a detailed rundown of
these projects in order to provide the public
the most accurate information on their status.
