James Wagner and others working on the Regional Bicycle/Pedestrian Master Plan have a simple goal: to get people to think of biking and walking as a form of transportation - not just as a recreational activity or exercise.

"I want people to think, I am going to go to Guthrie Green and then we're going to the Gathering Place, and we're not going to use our car," said Wagner, transportation projects coordinator for the Indian Nations Council of Governments. "I think that is kind of the big picture."

It makes sense, then, that backers of the plan have dubbed it the "Go Plan."

Work to create it began in December when INCOG hired consultants from Toole Design Group of Maryland. The process will include public meetings, the first of which will be at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Tulsa Community College Center for Creativity, 910 S. Boston Ave.

The final plan  expected to be completed next summer  will include a prioritized list of bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure projects for Tulsa and 10 surrounding communities.

The final plan will be presented to the INCOG board of directors for its approval.
