Applications will be accepted through Aug. 5 for a steering committee that will help develop a pedestrian and bicycle master plan for Grand Junction.

“Members of the community who want to help shape active transportation for the City of Grand Junction are welcome to apply for the new steering committee,” said Felix Landry, community development planning supervisor. “This is an opportunity for community members of all abilities to guide improvements to the pedestrian and bicycle experience whether you travel by bike lanes, sidewalks or trails for fun or for work.”

The Grand Junction City Council will select the members, which may include individuals and stakeholder group representatives.

The 10 to 15 members of the committee will attend a series of six meetings scheduled for September through April 2023. The committee will review project goals and deadlines, research ideas and promote community involvement. The committee also will assure the plan is inclusive, equitably distributes resources and reflects a variety of experiences and interests.

The master plan will guide efforts to fund transportation improvements in the city as well as identify design standards, policies and programs that support biking, walking and other non-motorized and low-powered modes of transportation.
