City touts bike master plan

Share via

The City Council has voted unanimously to adopt a Bicycle Master Plan

that will outline a vision for bike paths in the city.

The plan, approved by the council Dec. 9, will help engineers and

urban planners connect bicycle paths to similar paths and

transportation facilities, and reduce traffic congestion and air

pollution, officials said in a staff report.

An approved master plan means the city is now eligible for funding

for bicycle transportation projects from the California Department of

Transportation.

It also ensures that future transportation decisions by the city

take into account bicycle travel.
