A city briefing on a program part of the larger Bike Network Plan update conversation drew overwhelming community support, while some committee members questioned the project’s lengthy timeline.
San Antonio City Council formally passed an update on the city’s Complete Streets policy on Thursday, setting in motion a framework for street design that accounts for all users.
Vision Zero and the Bike Network Plan are expected to receive support from a grant issued to San Antonio's Transportation Department as part of the Safe Streets and Roads for All program.
The complete streets concept is a part of the advocacy of local groups such as ActivateSA, one of the coalition’s members. San Antonio adopted its current complete streets policy in 2011.
Safety is the number one priority when hitting the streets on a bike, but at times, cyclists are at the will of those behind the wheel of a vehicle.
