Welcome!

Welcome to the official project website for the 2011 Dallas Bike Plan. The creation of this Plan is a community input–driven planning effort that is currently in progress, and is intended to update the 1985 Dallas Bike Plan. This effort will result in a forward-looking bicycle “master plan”, an implementation strategy, and a set of recommendations for complimentary bicycle policies and programs. As the Plan’s key component, the Dallas Bikeway System Master Plan will include the identification of on-street and off-street bicycle routes, the locations of on-street bicycle facility types such as bike lanes, as well as associated street profiles, all referenced to a detailed network map. The context-appropriate designation of on-street bicycle facility types is being done with the help of professional bicycle planning consultants, in accordance with the latest national bicycle facility best practices and standards. The Plan’s Implementation Strategy will include the prioritization of projects for future implementation, as well as likely or potential funding sources.

With the North Central Texas Council of Governments as the City’s partner in this groundbreaking update, it is envisioned that the 2011 Dallas Bike Plan will include multiple inter-jurisdictional connections, and become a bicycle planning “template” for other municipalities within the Dallas-Fort worth Metroplex.
