Pedestrian shortcuts are important for pedestrians across Montgomery County, but they may not be accessible for people with mobility concerns, during or after rainfall, or at night. This map will help improve communities by highlighting connections that are important for pedestrian travel that aren\u2019t officially sanctioned or formalized.<\/SPAN><\/P>

The Pedestrian Master Plan team will then consider this information when making recommendations to improve the quality and safety of these connections. This will make walking and rolling safer, more comfortable, more convenient and more accessible for pedestrians of all ages and abilities in all parts of the county.<\/SPAN><\/P><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/DIV>", "summary": "This feature class contains informal pedestrian shortcuts identified via the Pedestrian Shortcut Map.
