Minnesota Bicycle Map Available from MnDOT

Posted by viadmin | August 20, 2013

The Minnesota Department of Transportation has published an updated edition of the state’s bicycle map, the first since 2001.
Available both in paper and electronic format, the free map provides bicycle accommodations across the state, making it easier for cyclists to plan long-distance bicycle trips. Map information includes:

  • Roadway details – shoulder width, pavement type and traffic volumes (low or high)
  • State and regional trails, including the Mississippi River Trail
  • State historic sites, parks, city index and other points of interest
  • Safety tips

Paper versions of the map are available at:

  • the MnDOT Central Office Building, 395 John Ireland Boulevard in St. Paul;
  • and at the Kick Gas exhibit inside the Eco Experience building on Randall Avenue, during the Minnesota State Fair, Aug. 22-Sept. 2.

 
The electronic version of the map is available at:

  • mndot.gov/bike/maps.html 

It is compatible with smart phones and features more detailed routes than the paper version, and includes smaller and printable areas of the state. The online version of the map will be updated twice yearly and offers opportunities for public feedback. Cyclists also may request a paper version of the map on the website.
Bicycling plays a big role in Minnesota’s transportation system, and the state ranked as the fourth overall “Bicycle Friendly State” by the League of American Bicyclists in May 2013. States were evaluated based on legislation and enforcement, policies and programs, infrastructure and funding, education and encouragement, evaluation and planning.
