Greater Burlington Bicycle & Pedestrian System Plan
Vision Statement:
2025 the plan the Greater Burlington bicycle and pedestrian system will be easily accessible and well connected. The system will allow residents and visitors to walk, run and bike safely to key destinations in the area.
There is a long road ahead, but steady progress is being made to make Burlington a more bike-friendly community.
There will be times that the commission will need the support of our members at city council meetings with both Burlington and West Burlington. The commission requests and encourages the recommendations of the public for the suggested bike routes/trails.
Stay tuned for developments of the plan as they unfold.
