Citywide Pedestrian & Bicycle Safety Action Plan 

The Citywide Pedestrian & Bicycle Safety Action Plan (also known as the Citywide Active Transportation Plan) will be a policy guide that assists in the development of equitable transportation improvements for non-vehicular transportation. It will envision a safe, comfortable, and connected transportation network that supports multi-modal trips and human-powered mobility options throughout the community. The plan will support the City’s sustainability goals by encouraging more residents to take trips to work, the grocery store, medical appointments, and visits to friends and family by foot or bike rather than by vehicle resulting in lower greenhouse gas emissions and improved air quality.
