Village of Warsaw Active Transportation Plan

The Genesee Transportation Council (GTC), Village of Warsaw, Wyoming County Planning Department, and its partners, are seeking to create an innovative, yet practical plan that reflects the community’s need to increase pedestrian/bicyclist mobility through a safe, comfortable, and interconnected multimodal network for people of all ages and abilities.

The project area contains diverse land uses and users, educational facilities, a dense Village core, and other pedestrian/bicycle destinations. These features make it an attractive place for residents and visitors. However, as evidenced by the reported crash history along NY-19 and US-20A, the level of vehicle traffic, and Passero's observations throughout the area, it lacks a complete and integrated plan to comfortably walk and bike to many destinations.

The community has a high percentage of low-income individuals and households with no vehicles. This study will evaluate in detail ways to improve both pedestrian and bicycle safety and accessibility by strengthening connections to these places. This will be accomplished by leveraging the current grid-like street network and utilizing low-volume, low-speed parallel roadways, such as Center Street and Linwood Avenue.
