2 icycle and edestrian lan for anawha and utnam ounties hase ask 2: ctivity enters and icycle/edestrian ocus reas o: egional ntergovernmental ouncil ate: June 11, 27 rom: aker ubject: ask 2: acilities nventory indings, ctivity enters and ocus reas ntroduction. he egional ntergovernmental ouncil (), serving the four-county region of oone, lay, anawha and utnam ounties in est irginia, has solicited the services of ichael aker Jr. nc. (aker) to perform a two-phase bicycle and pedestrian circulation study for anawha and utnam ounties. he two-phase study will result in the development of a icycle and edestrian lan for the two counties. his emorandum explains the methodology applied in ask 2 of hase to identify ctivity enters and icycle and edestrian ocus reas and details the data illustrated on each map. nder ask 2: acilities nventory, aker has identified ctivity enters in anawha and utnam ounties. ctivity enters were identified based on the population of an area and if it was identified as an ctivity enter in the aster lan. tilizing rcap and data provided by the and, maps were created to illustrate the ctivity enters in the two (2) counties. reas to focus field inventory efforts were then determined based on the proximity of schools, roadways with an over 1, in 24 and other data factors as detailed in the aps section below. aps total of ten (1) maps have been created to illustrate identified ctivity enters and icycle and edestrian ocus reas in anawha and utnam ounties. or each county there are five (5) maps including the following: ne (1) ctivity enter ap (county-level) and our (4) ocus rea maps. or anawha ounty, the icycle and edestrian ocus reas (towns and cities) identified include: ocus rea 1 - itro, ross anes, t. lbans ocus rea 2 - harleston etro ocus rea 3 - armet, elle, edar rove ocus rea 4 lendenin or utnam ounty, the icycle and edestrian ocus reas (towns and cities) identified include: ocus rea 1 urricane ocus rea 2 eays alley ocus rea 3 uffalo, leanor, infield ocus rea 4 ancroft and oca age 1 of 3
