Bicycle-Pedestrian Committee
To make Fairfax an excellent place to walk and bicycle and reduce overall carbon emissions, it is important to increase the number of residents who walk and bike in the Town.
Objective
The Town of Fairfax Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan (2016) calls for the Plan to be updated every five years to reflect new policies and requirements for bicycle and pedestrian funding. In 2024, the Town Council authorized a request to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) for the allocation of FY 2024/25 project funding. MTC recently awarded Fairfax this grant in full. The updated Master Plan will investigate existing bike and pedestrian infrastructure and suggest areas for improvement and expansion.
The Town is forming a Bike and Pedestrian Action Committee (BPAC) to provide guidance in the preparation of the update to the Plan. The BPAC will meet as needed but can anticipate convening monthly. The meetings will include a presentation on the plan’s progress and an opportunity to provide feedback.
TENTATIVE: May 21 Special Town Council Meeting
The Town Council may hold a special Town Council meeting on May 21 to discuss the structure of the BPAC. The Town will be accepting applications for the BPAC by May 19. The Council will hold interviews for the committee at their regular meeting on June 4, 2025.
