Local planning worth knowing in Brown County
Bike Safe Wisconsin is a statewide screening model: one consistent method applied to every public road in all 72 counties, refreshed from statewide data. Local and regional agencies plan at a finer grain — with field review, local traffic counts, adopted project lists, and public input that no statewide model can replicate — and where that work exists, it deserves recognition and the first look:
- Brown County Bicycle & Pedestrian Plan — the county's adopted bike/ped plan
- Green Bay Safe Walk & Bike Plan — the city and school district's joint walking and biking plan
- WisDOT county bicycle maps — printable suitability-rated bicycling map for every Wisconsin county (2020 update)
The two are complements: this site offers a consistent statewide baseline, a free route planner, and a second, independent lens; adopted local plans carry the detailed, community-endorsed recommendations. Know a local plan or study that belongs here? Tell us and we'll add it.
