2020 ACTION ITEMS JUNE2020What are Action Items?

As a direct result of comments received through public forums (including the 2019 online WikiMap, paper maps at numerous public

input sessions and street teams, and the June 2019 Open House), we were able to identify a variety of suggested

improvements throughout the city on which action could be taken. The table and map below represent

many great ideas and show their status.

A similar list of items was developed during the 2015 Bike Plan process.

In the 5 years since that plan was completed, we have completed or

programmed over 80% of the 2015 Action Items.
