The Bike Fairfax City Plan

The city's bicycle plan, Bike Fairfax City, has been created to identify a network of bike lanes, trails, and other facilities, as well as policies and programs to improve the bicycling experience in the City of Fairfax. The recommendations in this plan will expand the network of safe, comfortable options for people of all ages and abilities to ride bikes between neighborhoods, parks, activity centers, and other destinations throughout the city and region.

About the Plan

The Bike Fairfax City bicycle transportation plan has been developed to help the City identify and prioritize projects to connect the City’s network of on- and off-street bicycle facilities. The 2035 Comprehensive Plan envisions a "Green Ribbon" network that connects neighborhoods, provides more transportation options, and improves access to key destinations like the City's Activity Centers.

To help advance this vision, the City worked closely with the community to identify gaps and to prioritize projects to connect and expand the bicycle network. The project evaluated existing conditions and planned projects and developed a map and a prioritized list of new projects for implementation. Recommended projects include off-street trail connections, bike lanes, neighborways, spot improvements, and long-term corridor projects.
