The city requires motorized and nonmotorized (active) transportation systems to move goods and people. Motorized transportation systems are those streets and roads that carry motorized vehicles. Nonmotorized (active) systems are those involving trails, sidewalks, pathways and linear parks that handle pedestrians, bicycles and other nonmotorized (active) modes of transportation. Within the city of Edgewood, proper pedestrian facilities are a community goal expressed throughout the Comprehensive Plan.

The nonmotorized (active) transportation system encompasses the entire community. These include adequate facilities for trails, pathways, sidewalks and linear parks that connect to all community, educational, recreational and commercial facilities as outlined in the Comprehensive Plan.
