• Develop a complete bicycle network that is both comfortable and safe for all level of bicyclists through the addition of new on-street and trail facilities as identified in the Bicycle Plan.
• Expand the bicycle trail so that any origin or destination in the city is located no more than one-mile from the trail.
• Ensure that safe and comfortable bicycle routes exist for all schools and employment centers.

High Priority Goals

• Develop a bicycle public education campaign to “Share the Road”
• Continue to implement the city “complete street” resolution to accommodate  all forms of transportation within each street right-of-way for all roadway or development projects.
• Add bicycle safety and Bike 101 programs.

Moderate Priority Goals

  maximize funding.
