Analysis Takeaways ■ 47.6% area within the city with less than 35% of access to streets with sidewalks ■ 24.55% area within the city with less than 40% of their streets rated “low stress” for bicycle Issue #2: Disproportionate Coverage Gaps A complete active transportation network, with one continuous sidewalk, a denser bikeway network, and frequent pedestrian crossings, is accessible only to residents who live in or near the Central Area (i.e., downtown core), leaving the majority of Fort Worth residents with network gaps. Analysis Takeaways ■ 15.9% of population live out of reach of an existing bikeway (more than .5 mile).
