(KAIR)--A comprehensive walking/biking trail master plan is in the works for the City of Atchison.

That follows a special meeting held by Live Well, Live Atchison and facilitated by PedNet—an organization that helps communities build walking and biking trails.

“We had a good group of community members that attended,” said Live Well, Live Atchison Director Andrea Clements. “We laid out maps of the city of Atchison and surrounding areas and everybody gathered around those maps and looked at the status of our current biking and walking facilities.”

She said a major concern coming out of the meeting was areas around Atchison that don't have any sidewalk at all.

“Some of the outlying areas of our community don't have any sidewalks,” she said. “That was scary to folks that were in our meeting.”

Clements said the next step is for PedNet to take all the information from the meeting and draft a pedestrian/bike trail plan for the city of Atchison.

Live Well will then present that plan to the Atchison City Commission. Clements said she hopes commissioners will officially adopt that as part of Atchison's master plan.
