Project Background

The Bike Master Plan is being developed by the consultant team that developed the City’s Strategic Multimodal Transportation Plan “Richmond Connects” (Michael Baker & Alta)

We needed more specific recommendations for dedicated bike infrastructure

Needed to hear from the community This will serve as the framework for future projects

as we build out a network of bikeways
