From mid-September through October 10, 2020 we invited the community to share:
The information collected through this round of feedback will be used to inform the update to the Cambridge Bicycle Plan.
Necessary precautions in response to COVID-19 have delayed public engagement for Bicycle Plan 2020, but we have still been working to advance some of the background and technical updates, including making updates to the list of short-term action items.
2015 Action Items
Based on comments provide during the 2015 Bike Plan development process, we created a list of short-term action items. Ideas were collected during the spring of 2014 through an online map, an online survey, and paper maps that were distributed at the open house and other public input sessions. In the past five years, we've completed or programmed over 80% of these action items.

2020 Action Items
We have reviewed hundreds of comments and suggestions submitted by the public as part of the ongoing Bicycle Plan 2020 process. As we review these comments, we direct them to the appropriate departments. Additionally, we've created a new list of action items.

We are currently working on revisions to the Bicycle Network Vision, updates to the data sections, a framework for prioritizing “quick-build” projects, and feasibility analyses for upcoming projects. We are also continuing to gather input through focus groups and additional community input opportunities.
Coming soon: Updates to the bike count data and documentation about 2019 projects, as well information about the next public open house being planned for early 2020.
We are wrapping up phase one of our outreach and public input; we have received terrific participation through our street teams, the Bicycle Plan 2020 web map, and public events!
Please note that the Bicycle Plan 2020 web map will remain open until October 15, 2019 for initial feedback.
Your feedback is being used as key input for revisions to the Bicycle Network Vision; the new proposed Vision will be available for additional public comment this fall. Please check back here or sign up for the Bicycle Plan 2020 e-newsletter for the latest news.

Please continue to submit ideas and feedback through the Bicycle Plan 2020 WikiMap. More information about commenting on the WikiMap can be found below. We will also be collecting public feedback for Bicycle Plan 2020 at various community events across the city throughout the summer.

We have launched a Bicycle Plan 2020 WikiMap to collect public feedback on bicycling in the city. Through this online WikiMap tool, you can provide feedback, input, and suggestions in two ways:
- Comment on the City's existing network of bicycle facilities. How is our network of streets and paths working now? Are there places that are great for bicycling and that you would like to see expanded or replicated? Are there places that are particularly problematic and you would like to see changed.
- Comment on the City's Bicycle Network Vision. Through the 2015 Bicycle Plan process, a Bicycle Network Vision was created to help guide the development a bicycle network that is safety-focused, comfortable, connected, and convenient for people of all ages and abilities. An explanation of the process to develop the Network Vision can be read here. An update to this Network Vision will be part of the Bicycle Plan 2020 outcomes.
