In 2019, the City of Hernando created a city-wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan.

This plan serves as a document that represents the City of Hernando’s commitment to provide safe and affordable mobility, as well as promoting active lifestyles for its residents and visitors.

The goal was to identify ways to expand current bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure and to make the City more navigable. The plan successfully achieves this goal through the provision of several key components. Previous studies and planning efforts were analyzed and documented within the plan. Community input was gathered through the formation of a Stakeholder Group. This input, along with a thorough investigation of the existing nodes of activity, opportunities, constraints and bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, provided the inventory and analysis portion of the plan. A comprehensive bicycle and pedestrian network plan was developed with visual exhibits to provide graphical support. Phasing and budget plans were developed to provide a guide for the City’s implementation of the plan.

The City of Hernando would like to thank the Mississippi Department of Transportation for funding support, DeSoto County for data support, and all of our wonderful stakeholders who committed their time, talent and knowledge to share their vision for future bicycle and pedestrian improvements in the City of Hernando.
