The Anchorage Bicycle Plan in about 100 words.
- Goal is to double utility bicycling ridership (aka commuting), reduce injuries by 30%, and improve connectivity.
- Focus is on educating bicyclists and drivers about rights and responsibilities of sharing the road.
- Establish Anchorage as a leader in bicycle ridership and infrastructure among northern cities and make bicycling an integral part of transportation in Anchorage.
- Encourage and accommodate safe winter cycling.
- Develop a policy that requires accommodation of bicyclists in all new road construction.
