The Hinsdale Bicycle Plan proposes a network of more than twenty-five miles of bike routes, bike lanes, and shared use paths to greatly increase the amount of bicycle facilities within the Village of Hinsdale. Additionally, recommendations for improved regulatory signs, traffic control devices, and bicycle parking are provided to present a comprehensive strategy for enhancing the environment for bicyclists.

This plan proposes a bicycle network that connects residents to destinations within Hinsdale as well as points beyond the Village limits. The network is not only for recreation; it provides residents and visitors with a transportation option that does not require a car, helps to reduce automobile congestion, and increases opportunities for physical activity. These qualities all contribute to enhancing the quality of life for residents of Hinsdale.

Tremendous community support and guidance was provided throughout the planning process by the Bicycle Task Force in monthly meetings and many other interested residents who participated in the bicycle planning workshop on April 21, 2007.
