What is the Active Living Committee?

The Breckenridge Active Living Committee collaboratively works to promote and improve the health of residents by supporting regular activity through environmental changes such as “Complete Streets”, sidewalks, and bicycle trails. Safety and respect of all users of the transportation networks in the community is promoted through education.

Vision: Moving you in the right direction

Core Values: Health, Safety, Respect, Community & Education

Current Project:

Safe Routes to School

The purpose of the SRTS Plan is to improve the current system to allow children/students to get to and from school in a safer manner.

The Breckenridge Active Living Committee has received a State Grant for a Safe Routes to School project and has put together a plan for engineering consideration. The current SRTS plan includes some of the following: sidewalk design, curb-gutter and asphalt cutting and removal, tree removal, storm drain design, signage, etc.

Highway 75 Walk/Bike Path ~ 2018-2020

The Breckenridge Active Living Committee has received grants to get a walk/bike path along highway 75 to the CHI St Francis. This project was chosen from a public forum meeting held in 2011. This path is a 10-foot wide paved surface. This trail is just the beginning and the largest piece of a connecting network throughout the communities we are trying to implement.

Trails provide opportunities for increased physically activity. Research shows exercise and being outside can improve mood and overall health. Building a better community!
Trails promote economically vital communities, and alternative modes of transportation. Allowing all ages to travel safely.
Trails have been considered one of the most important amenities for potential homeowners when moving into a community.
Trails provide a valuable amenity that can increase housing values.
Trails revitalize neighborhoods.
Trails can build or add more to local businesses with pedestrian traffic and visitor interest.
