WELCOME
The Philadelphia City Planning Commission (PCPC) and Philadelphia Department of Health and Human Services are preparing a Pedestrian and Bicycle Plan for the City of Philadelphia. Improving pedestrian and bicycle safety and mobility is an important element of the City's ongoing efforts to become more sustainable. The Pedestrian and Bicycle Plan complements the new Comprehensive Plan Philadelphia 2035, as well as many other planning initiatives.
The project is being completed in two phases. The first phase, completed in fall 2010, encompasses Center City, North Philadelphia, Northwest Philadelphia, and South Philadelphia. To view the Phase I Plan, CLICK HERE. The second phase, currently underway, encompasses Southwest Philadelphia, West Philadelphia, Olney/Oak Lane, Northeast Philadelphia, and the River Wards.
This project was made possible by funding from the Department of Health and Human Services and Get Healthy Philly, an initiative of the Philadelphia Department of Public Health, and by a grant from the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission's Transportation and Community Development Initiative.
There are many opportunities to get involved in the development of Philadelphia's Pedestrian and Bicycle Plan, including public meetings. A Community Walk website is also available to gather feedback on pedestrian and bicycle issues and opportunities throughout the City. The schedule for Public Meetings and the link to the Community Walk website are available below. CLICK HERE to send us your feedback

Open Houses for Phase 2 of the Pedestrian and Bicycle Plan will be held in October 2011. The Phase 2 study area includes West and Southwest Philadelphia, Northeast Philadelphia, Olney/Oak Lane, and the River Wards, but all are welcome to attend. The West/Southwest open houses will be held on October 11th and 12th, and the Northeast open houses will be on October 25th and 26th. You may also view the calendar above for details.
