The Palo Alto Bicycle Transportation Plan was adopted by the City Council in November 2003. It is the culmination of work by the Transportation Division, in cooperation with the Palo Alto Bicycle Advisory Committee and members of the community.
The Bicycle Plan fulfills Comprehensive Plan Program T-18: "Develop and periodically update a comprehensive bicycle plan" and Program T-19: "Develop, periodically update, and implement, a bicycle facilities improvement program that prioritizes critical pedestrian and bicycle links to parks, schools, retail centers, and civic facilities."
The Bicycle Transportation Plan contains a recommended bikeways network to meet the needs of all bicyclists including commuters, students, recreational riders, and casual cyclists. It features bicycle boulevards, bike lanes on arterial streets, new bicycle/pedestrian grade separations, and spot improvements at key intersections. The Plan also details recommended best practices for bicycle education and outreach programs, bicycle facilities design and maintenance, and enforcement.
