Updates to the Alameda Countywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plans

Alameda CTC is updating the 2006 Countywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plans. The goal of these updates is to reflect current bicycling and walking conditions, needs and priorities in Alameda County. The plans will be used to identify countywide capital project and program priorities, and will guide the allocation of countywide funds. The update process began in May 2010 and final plans are scheduled to be considered for adoption by the Alameda CTC in May 2012.

The Alameda Countywide Transportation Plan and Transportation Expenditure Plan are also being updated. Specific information on the updates can be found on the project website.
