2017 Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Update
The current 2017 Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan was adopted in March 2017 as an update to the 2008 Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan. The Primary goals of the Bike and Pedestrian Plan are to:
- Expand options for walking and biking in Fitchburg
- Connect bicycle and pedestrian facilities to local and regional facilities and neighboring communities
- Improve networks and intersections to increase safety and comfort for all users
- Invest in bicycle and pedestrian amenities and enhancements
Engage with residents, businesses, employers, and city employees to educate, promote and encourage biking and walking in Fitchburg
The plan development included substantial public involvement consisting of multiple public meetings, surveys, wiki maps, and outreach through various local events. The final document is a great resource to identify opportunities for bicycle and pedestrian facility improvements throughout the City.
