Inputs requested for Alexandria's Bike-Ped Master Plan Update

[Alexandria Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee]

Alexandria's Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan will be updated in the upcoming months to address areas of increasing importance for the City's multi-modal plans for the next 10 years. These areas include the Complete Streets program, Capital Bikeshare, on-street bicycle networks, bicycle parking, and bicycle way-finding. City staff has requested our inputs and suggestions, and BPAC is planning a table top discussion on 30 May for that purpose. Appreciate your comments by email in advance of those discussion.

-  A simple descriptive email with associated rationale or other relevant information will work. You can also mark up a Google Map with your desired bicycle or pedestrian improvements.  

Thanks,

Jim, BPAC Vice Chair
