Bike Plan

Goal

The City Council will adopt a Bike Master Plan with a goal to increase bicycling to a specific percent mode share with policies and projects to meet that goal, based on an analysis of existing conditions and a robust public process.

Background

The City of Minneapolis adopted a Bike Plan Map in 2001, and is now in the process of updating the map and developing a full Bike Master Plan. We're working to increase the amount of public outreach and are working with the City to develop a strong existing conditions analysis to aid in future planning.

Our vision for the Bike Master Plan is that it sets a framework for implementing bicycle improvements that serve a variety of user and trip types, supporting bicycling for people aged 8 to 80.
