Introduction Lincoln County is located in the southeastern part of the state sharing an eastern border with Iowa
along the Big Sioux River. The northern part of the County has rapidly growing municipal areas
while the southern portion is characterized by agricultural land use. There are three state parks
within the County limits including Newton Hills, Great Earth and Lake Alvin. There are also a
variety of recreational areas located along the Big Sioux River.
The State Long Range Transportation Plan presents the following considerations:
Federal Highway Administration policy requires consideration of bicycle and pedestrian
facilities on federally funded projects, where appropriate, in all highway construction and
reconstruction projects.
Rural considerations include paved shoulders.
Urban bicycle considerations include bicycle lanes, bicycle paths, or increased width on
outside driving lane to accommodate bicycle users.
Urban pedestrian considerations include sidewalks or shared use paths.
Due to the rural nature of the County’s roadway system, opportunities for bicycle and pedestrian
uses are focused around available shoulder space. Figure 1 details the existing road network and
availability of shoulder space for accommodation of multi-use activities.
Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Goals The following goals have been identified for the Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan:
Support safe multi-modal use of Lincoln County facilities.
Promote connectivity of municipalities within Lincoln County.
Support bicycling and walking as viable transportation modes in Lincoln County.
Promote bicycling and walking in Lincoln County by improving awareness of bicycle and
pedestrian facilities and opportunities.
