Development of the Town's first Townwide Bicycle Master Plan (BMP) began in early 2020 and was adopted by the Town Council on July 6, 2021. The BMP provides a vision and comprehensive short and long-range plans focused on supporting and enhancing bicycle policies and infrastructure improvements within the Town.
The complete Final BMP and a presentation summarizing the plan can be accessed through the following links:
Evaluate existing conditions and identify the needs of all cyclists;
Develop a short and long-range priority list of improvements that enhance bicycling safety;
Provide policy recommendations to enhance and strengthen the goals and policies of the 2030 Town of Danville General Plan;
Reinforce Danville’s importance as a regional destination by providing a bicycle network consistent with other local and regional plans; and
Provide a mechanism to position the Town for grant opportunities.
Public Outreach
A series of virtual public workshops and "pop-up" events provided multiple opportunities for the public to interact with staff and where in-depth input was provided to help develop the BMP.
Next Steps
To support and provide input on implementation of the recommendations contained in the BMP, the Danville Town Council appointed a Bicycle Advisory Commission on June 21, 2022 composed of five at-large Commissioners and one youth Commissioner representing a broad range of cycling interests.
