Through its Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan process, the City has been evaluating its policies and practices, identifying and prioritizing bicycle and pedestrian investments, and developing a fiscally realistic implementation strategy. The master planning process is now in the final of three distinct phases:

1. A data-gathering phase to establish existing conditions. Conducted in spring 2019.
2. An assessment phase to establish bicycle and pedestrian needs. Conducted in summer 2019.
3. A recommendations phase to establish policies and infrastructure investments for the City’s consideration and develop a guide for implementation. Current phase.
