On Thursday, May 25, the City of Iowa City will host an open house at the Iowa City Senior Center, 28 South Linn Street, from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM to present the draft recommendations in the Iowa City Bicycle Master Plan and gather input from community residents. The City is nearing completion of the Bicycle Master Plan that will guide future investments to make bicycling safer, easier, and more convenient for residents of all ages and abilities.
The second open house will include a brief overview of the planning process and work completed thus far, followed by opportunities for community members to share their input at various activity stations throughout the room. Attendees will be able to comment on draft bicycle facility recommendations, select preferred programs and activities that support bicycling, provide input on bicycle network prioritization, and share their comments directly with the project team.
Following the open house, consultants and City staff will use the feedback gathered at the meeting to make final revisions to the plan and prioritize recommended bicycle projects. Once complete, the final plan will be presented to the City Council for adoption.
