FY25 Proposed Budget

Iowa City Bicycle Master Plan - Iowa City has completed a Bicycle Master Plan that builds upon other City planning efforts to expand the role that bicycling plays in achieving the City’s stated goals for transportation, economic development, neighborhood livability, community identity, safety, environmental preservation, and health and wellness. The goal is to create a Bicycle Master Plan that identifies and prioritizes bicycle improvements based on existing conditions, adopted plans and policies, and the particular needs of bicyclists in Iowa City gathered through public input. The plan will focus on identifying near- and long-term strategies and prioritized actions for increasing bicycle ridership, comfort, connectivity, and safety for bicyclists of all ages and abilities, creating a framework for expanding Iowa City’s bicycle network. This includes identifying a set of timely actions and improvements to achieve a Bicycle Friendly Community ‘Gold’ status. Facilities Space Needs Study and Master Plan - The plan primarily includes the visual observation and assessment of spaces and systems that comprise each of the City facilities involved, the understanding and prioritization (by facility) of facility space and system needs, recommendations for space and systems improvement (as determined necessary), and recommendations for improved facility energy efficiency (as needed).
