In late 2016, Trailnet along with the Department of Engineering for the City of Saint Charles, completed a Bicycle & Pedestrian Master Plan. The priorities of the master plan were drafted by the Plan Steering Committee based on resident feedback received during the initial round of public outreach and were further refined by the City of Saint Charles staff. The plan recommends implementing various policies and initiatives as well as physical infrastructure improvements to create a more walkable and bikeable community. The recommendations center on the "5 Es" - education, encouragement, enforcement, evaluation, and engineering.
