Bicycle Master Plan Update
Background
On October 17, 2017, the City Council adopted the East Palo Alto Bicycle Transportation Plan Update. First adopted in 2011, the Bicycle Transportation Plan was created to reflect the goals and policies of the General Plan and the Bay Access Master Plan. At the time of adoption the Bicycle Transportation Plan was visionary, as it envisioned improving the over-all health of the community through improved air-quality and by helping people stay physically fit. It embraced a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, and it advocated for connectivity of schools with residential areas, shoppers with businesses, and commuters to employment centers.
