Background of Item: The City of Miami adopted its first Bicycle Master Plan in 2009 through Resolution Number 09-01047, to establish a foundation for bicycle mobility and infrastructure. The first Bicycle Master Plan has been updated to address changes to bicycle facility types to include protected bicycle facilities and buffered bicycle lanes. The 2025 update to the Bicycle Master Plan seeks to address today's multimodal transportation challenges and align with long-term local and county planning initiatives. The updated plan envisions Miami as a "15-Minute City," where residents can access daily needs and services within a short bicycle ride. The plan incorporates extensive research, reviewing over a dozen prior planning efforts including regional trail networks, Complete Streets policies, and the SMART Plan to ensure consistency and coordination. The City engaged in robust community outreach, including surveys with more than 700 responses, interactive mapping tools, and meetings with community organizations, resulting in public priorities such as protected bicycle lanes, improved network connectivity, and secure bicycle parking. The plan establishes best practices for safe, equitable, and comfortable cycling through protected lanes, shared -use paths, bicycle boulevards, and other facility types, informed by national standards and FDOT context classifications. The Bicycle Network Analysis identifies gaps and opportunities to create a citywide, connected bicycle system with an emphasis on low-income, high -density neighborhoods and first/last-mile connections to transit. The Project Implementation Plan prioritizes projects based on safety, population density, equity, and coordination with schools, parks, and transit hubs, creating a roadmap for phased improvements. The conclusion of the plan emphasizes the importance of implementing high -priority projects first to maximize safety, accessibility, and ridership while building a long-term, multimodal transportation network for Miami residents and visitors.
