The mission of the Dartmouth Pathways Committee is to improve bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure in Dartmouth through advocacy and education, while supporting coordinated regional efforts to link existing and future pathways throughout the Southcoast, improving recreational opportunities and fostering a healthier community for residents and visitors.
Goals
Develop a long term plan for bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure for the Town and seek long term outside funding for these plans.
Develop affordable short-term improvements for bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure in the Town that can be completed with local funds.
Work with surrounding towns and regional organizations to develop a Southcoast pathway from Providence to Provincetown.
Make the Dartmouth Pathway Committee part of the planning and public hearing process so that improvements in bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure will be a consistent consideration in the development of all highway or road improvements, municipal projects and permitted commercial property construction or reconstruction within the town.
