Goals • Goal 1. Support bicycling and walking as viable transportation modes in Rapid City. • Goal 2. Promote bicycling and walking in the Rapid City area by improving awareness of bicycle and pedestrian facilities and opportunities. 5 • Goal 3. Integrate bicycle and pedestrian planning into Rapid City’s Planning Processes.
