The City of Roswell’s current Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan, adopted in 2019, outlines ways Roswell can improve connectivity, accessibility, and safety for bikers and pedestrians in Roswell. In 2023, the City completed Bike Ped Plan project 80, which narrowed the lanes along Scott Road and added bike lanes in both directions, as well as, voted to approve a bond which included $20 million dedicated to constructing multi-use paths and sidewalks.
In 2009, Roswell adopted a "Complete Streets" policy, which requires staff to incorporate the needs of all users into the design and construction of roadway projects.
All of Roswell’s TSPLOST (Transportation Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax) and TSPLOST-II projects are planned to be Complete Street projects. This includes the 2.5 mile long Big Creek Parkway project that will connect 2 portions of SR140/Holcomb Bridge Road in East and West Roswell. The roadway will include sidewalks and multi-use paths via mostly new alignment. This project will provide vehicles, bicyclists, and pedestrians with new connectivity and an alternate route to cross over SR 400 expressway between East and West Roswell. This project should be open for use within the next 5 to 6 years.
Additionally, Roswell is certified as both a Bike Friendly and Walk Friendly Community through the League of American Bicyclists and the Walk friendly Communities Organization. Both these designations speak to Roswell’s dedication to making modes of transportation, other than cars, accessible in Roswell.
