BICYCLE MASTER PLAN
The Santa Fe MPO is in the process of developing a Bicycle Master plan for the Santa Fe metropolitan area. This Plan will serve to coordinate investments in trails and roads, establish common guidelines for design, construction and maintenance, and develop shared strategies on education, enforcement and encouragement of bicycling as a transportation choice in the Santa Fe area.

DRAFT BICYCLE MASTER PLAN
As the Bicycle Master Plan document was being developed draft sections were released for review by the Citizen Advisory Group and any other interested parties. Review and feedback has been welcomed and encouraged by all who are interested.
A Preliminary Draft of the whole document has now been produced which can be downloaded at the link below. This is an informal opportunity to provide input. This Preliminary Draft was reviewed by the Citizen Advisory Group at their October 18th Meeting. At the end of February 2012 an official draft of the document will be finalised and released for a formal public review period. It is expected that the finalized BMP will be presented for approval by the MPO Transportation Policy Board at their April 12th, 2012 Meeting.

BIKEWAYS MAPPING PROJECT
The Bikeways Mapping Project was conducted during the first phase in the development of the Bicycle Master Plan. The project identifies a system of major multi-use paths and significant roadways that may comprise an “arterial bikeway” system in the MPO area. Possible improvements to these bikeways, and connections to them and between them, are being analyzed and prioritized with respect to each segment’s contribution toward system connectivity, anticipated local demand basedon land use, specific safety advantages, and feasibility. A list of priorities for trail and road improvements will be finalized during the development of the Master Plan.

SANTA FE BIKEWAYS & TRAILS MAP
The Santa Fe MPO seeks to make bicycling a safer and more convenient form of everyday transportation for citizens and visitors. Santa Fe is an ideal bicycling environment due to its compact size, moderate terrian, and pleasant weather. A bicyle offers an alternative travel choice for those concerned about the environment, and requires relatively little infrastructure. In addition, bicyles can have travel times comparable with automobiles for short distances and are less expensive to own and operate than automobiles.
The Santa Fe Bikeways and Trails Map was created through public input to show the perceived suitability of on-street facilities for bicycling. The conditions at specific locations are subjective, always changing, and may vary from what is shown on the map. Please use the map as a community-based guidance to help you select a bicycling route that meets your needs and skill level. Always use caution to evaluate the current roadway conditions.

The MPO is finalizing the 2012 Bikeways and Trails Map. The link above provides the almost final version of the Map. We have one more round of minor edits to make before we go to print in the next couple of weeks. We are shooting to have the 2012 Maps printed by early Spring.
