In 2014 the City completed the Portsmouth Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan as a comprehensive strategy to make bicycling and walking safe, comfortable, and convenient for people of all ages and abilities. The City has made great progress implementing the recommendations of the plan and building the City's network over the past 10 years working towards the vision and commitment of the City to increase walking and bicycling. As the current state of practice has evolved, a comprehensive update to the plan is being conducted to determine the status of implementation and to provide opportunities for the community to offer input into necessary updates for future improvements.
The 2024 plan update will be a tool for coordinating city-wide project, policies and programs related to active transportation. The updated plan will be used to evaluate and measure progress towards implementing bicycle and pedestrian amenities and help to guide capital investments, while identifying additional funding options.
