BICYCLE MASTER PLAN >> YAKIMA, WASHINGTON
BIKE YAKIMA BICYCLE MASTER PLAN >> YAKIMA, WASHINGTON i | YAKIMA BIKE MASTER PLAN NOVEMBER 2017 Acknowledgments The City of Yakima’s Utilities and Engineering, and Planning Departments led the development of the 2017 Yakima Bicycle Master Plan (BMP). The intention was for this plan to be contained 1 within the Comprehensive and Transportation Plans, as required by the Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA). At the completion of the Preliminary Draft Bicycle Master Plan in November 2015, the City’s Planning Department began the State 21 mandated updates of the 2017 Transportation Systems Plan and Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan, and as a result, the BMP was not adopted by council at that time. The Comprehensive and Transportation Plans have since been 27 completed and the Bicycle Master Plan has been updated to align with these plans, bringing all Plans into compliance. The City and Project Team would like to extend their special appreciation to the Built Environment Committee of City Council, 39 the Project Advisory Committee, and the many members of the public, all of whom provided valuable input to the development of the Plan. 55 City Staff (2017) Project Advisory Committee (2015) Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Brett H.
