Project Overview

Adopted on March 12, 2026, the Chelan-Douglas Pathways Master Plan sets forth a vision for a connected regional network of walking and biking pathways. The plan provides strategic guidance for implementing new pathways in four priority corridors, improving safety and access while strengthening connections between communities across Chelan and Douglas counties.

The master plan reflects extensive technical analysis and community input and establishes a coordinated approach for planning, design, and future investment in active transportation infrastructure.

The master plan identifies potential pathway alignments in four priority corridors based on detailed evaluation of route options and community feedback. An Executive Summary was prepared for each corridor to provide a high-level overview of recommended routes, public input, and implementation considerations.
