Goals & Objectives

Efforts to update the city of Pasadena’s Bicycle Master Plan are in full swing.  The city’s Department of Transportation seeks to update the  2000 Century of Bikes Plan  (see below) to encourage bicycle riding and improve conditions for those already riding.

Most of the projects in the 2000 plan have been completed, with 60 lane-miles of on-street bicycle routes identified with signage and striping. A bike map, increased bike parking and promotion of bike safety were also integral elements of the plan that have been implemented.

The Department of Transportation along with Ryan Snyder Associates, the consultant hired to develop the new master plan, have held two open meetings where the public offered their comments and suggestions for making biking in Pasadena a better experience.

A Bicycle Master Plan Advisory Committee that includes local cyclists, bicycle advocacy groups, bike shops and city commissioners and staff has been hard at work assisting the Department of Transportation as it looks at the full range of actions Pasadena could take.  An updated plan is expected to require more innovation as the city considers such treatments as bicycle boulevards and road diets, among others.

An initial needs analysis was conducted to determine how visible, safe and well connected the bicycle network is for beginning and experienced cyclists.  An initial draft of the new Bicycle Master Plan should be ready by early fall for the public input and further suggestions.

2000 Century of Bikes Plan

 ATTENTION: Bicycle Master Plan Update Community Meeting! 

On November 6, 2000, the City Council adopted the Pasadena Bicycle Master Plan and certified the Program Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Plan.  Following the adoption, the City began identifying funding sources necessary for implementing the Plan.  The City is actively pursuing grants from various sources, including Metropolitan Transit Authority's 2001 Call for Projects and Caltran's Local Assistance Program funding from the Bicycle Transportation Account (BTA). Below are links to the Bicycle Master Plan (text and figures) and the EIR for the Plan.
