Plan Updates

The Health Impact Report assesses the effect that proposed policy changes and new infrastructure implementations could have on the health of San Antonians and the distribution of health-related outcomes around the City.

The Network Development Report covers the process of forming all four recommended networks and the scoring methodology used to determine priority and feasibility for each project.

The Cost Estimation Report provides the high-level cost of each type of bicycle infrastructure included in the Bike Network Plan along with the methodology and assumptions used to determine them.

The Funding Strategy Plan describes the various opportunities the City has identified that could provide funds to complete bike infrastructure projects, including state, regional and local programs, and competitive state and federal grants.

The Bike Facility Maintenance Cost Memo analyzes and estimates the cost of maintaining future bicycle infrastructure using the City’s four current maintenance programs – pavement preservation, debris removal, striping re-application, and vandalism and crash impact maintenance.

The Performance Metrics and Targets Memorandum provides 11 data-driven metrics that the City can use to ensure progress toward its goal of developing a comprehensive, connected, and safe bicycle network.

The BNP Policy Actions and Constraints Report serves as a general guideline for all levels of government, informing the development of policies that align with the BNP, as well as the City’s Vision Zero Action Plan and Complete Streets Policy. This document reviews current bike and pedestrian policies, identifies gaps, and develops recommendations for policy changes based on relevant existing case studies and peer city experiences. A total of 17 policy recommendations are presented in this document, focusing on roadway safety regulations for cyclists and pedestrians, roadway reallocation, and the deployment of infrastructure.

Rather than a “one-size-fits-all” approach, the Bike Facilities Guidelines for Future Amendments serves as a tool to determine the appropriate bicycle facility based on the broader street context, vehicle volumes and speeds, and the modal needs of a street. The planning, designing, and implementation of bicycle facilities still follows the City’s rigorous process that includes engineering assessment and public engagement

Read about how the BNP Team involved residents throughout the plan process through engagement activities in 2023 – focused on hosting online surveys for residents, visitors, and employers to voice their opinion on walking and biking challenges they face today and their preferred designs and destinations for the future.

The Existing Conditions Assessment is as a comprehensive summary of the context in which the BNP exists, providing a foundation onto which design guidelines, routing studies, cost estimates, and implementation guidance can exist. Check it out here!
