10 Vision & Goals Technical Advisory Committee and Ad Hoc Task Force established Vision & Goals for bicycling in Phoenix: MAKING CONNECTIONS In 20 years, Phoenix will be a Platinum-level Bicycle Friendly Community. It will be safe and easy to bike anywhere in the city. A well-connected infrastructure network will link people and places, making bicycling a preferred option for daily transportation, recreation and healthy lifestyles. 10

11 People & Places The city s bicycle network will connect neighborhoods with each other and into Downtown Phoenix. Bicycling will be a safe, fun, and convenient transportation option to access schools, parks, shopping, work, and community centers in all parts of the city. Safety Bicycling will be a safe transportation and recreation option. Streets will be designed and retrofitted to safely accommodate all modes. People on bikes will understand bicycling rules of the road through proper facility design and safety education. Bicycling will be safer by promoting accountability and responsible attitudes of all road users. 11

12 Arterials & Collectors People on bikes will be able to share transportation facilities with motor vehicles and easily cross roadways. Missing gaps in the bicycle network will be completed. On- & Off-Street Routes Multi-use paths and trails will intersect and seamlessly and safely connect with the street network. This mix of facility types will provide a variety of comfortable travel options for all ages, abilities, and trip purposes. 12

13 City & Region The City of Phoenix will be connected to bikeways in adjoining communities to provide longer-distance recreation and commuting opportunities. Bike connectivity through loops and links will be promoted. Bikes & Transit Commuting by public transportation will be a seamless and efficient choice for cyclists. Completing the first and last 2.5 miles of a transit trip will be easy to accomplish on a bike as modes will be fully integrated. 13

14 Policies & Perceptions A strong bike culture will be the norm, not the exception, as reflected in government organization, community, and individual actions. Public policy will be connected with the desire to have more people riding bikes more often. Bicycling will be easy, safe, convenient, fun, and an accepted mode of transportation and recreation. Opportunities & Investments Investments made for bicycling will be smart, focused, and equitable. The city will leverage existing assets and create partnerships with local, county, and state agencies to build out the bicycle infrastructure network. 14
