The City has rolled out a Bike & Pedestrian Advisory Committee to promote a safe, walkable and rideable Geneva.

In 2022, the City’s Strategic Plan Advisory Committee (SPAC) presented a series of recommendations regarding the implementation of the City’s Bike Plan. The presentation was the culmination of months of research, meeting with experts, and gathering input from Geneva residents. In addition to providing recommendations regarding priority bike routes, safety, and programming, SPAC recommended re-establishing the City’s Bike and Pedestrian Advisory Committee.

As envisioned, this subcommittee will work with SPAC and City staff to advance projects, goals, and objectives within the City’s Bikeways Implementation Plan. The group will work to address the following:

• Provide input to update the City's bike plans;
• Identify key areas for bike and pedestrian improvements in the community;
• Help create updated print and electronic bike materials;
• Coordinate bike/pedestrian safety education events and activities;
• Look to enhance bike friendliness options at City facilities;
• Seek community feedback; study and monitor relevant issues; and
• Develop an annual work plan and provide updates to the City Council.  

Committee Members

The committee is comprised of ten members who have an interest in bicycle and pedestrian transit, safety, issues, and projects. All members who were appointed will serve two-year terms.

Meetings typically are held at 6 p.m. on the second Wednesday of each month. Agendas and minutes can be found in the City's Agenda Center.
