Bicycle Master Plan

Our hottest issue is to get the city to implement the City of Alameda Bicycle Master Plan. This was adopted by the City Council in January 1999. Since we began working with the City in 2000, there has been some progress towards implementation. The city has already taken some major steps. We are quite proud that we helped to push for:

a full time bicycle coordinator within public works
a Bicycle Advisory Committee to supplement the Transportation Advisory committee
an ordinance requiring secure, closed in bicycle parking at all major local events (with more than 100 people).
an estuary bicycle water shuttle to give west Alameda bicyclists better access to downtown Oakland and Jack London Square.
