More bike lanes could soon be coming to Austin, but only if the community asks for them. Bike Austin is leading an effort to call on City Council to fund 220 miles of protected bike lanes, 50 miles of Urban Trails and hundreds of miles of missing sidewalks through a mobility-focused bond election this November.

This includes fully funding the Bicycle Master Plan, which was approved by City Council in 2014, but has not been given the resources it needs to become a reality. Once fully implemented, the Bicycle Master Plan is expected to remove 20,000 daily car trips from the road, representing a 7 percent reduction in motor vehicle traffic in the densest parts of Austin.

How to get involved?
If you’re interested in advocating for better bike and pedestrian infrastructure, you can attend Bike Austin’s rally on Tuesday, April 26th at 5:15pm on the steps of City Hall. More info>>
