In 2001 the Minneapolis City Council, Mayor, and Park & Recreation Board approved the Bicycle Master Plan Map. See the links at the bottom of this page for versions of this map. The 2001 Bicycle Master Plan Map serves as a guide for new bikeway development in Minneapolis.

In 2008 work began on a new Bicycle Master Plan. This plan will be a comprehensive document detailing the policies and practices around bicycling in Minneapolis. It will also include an update to the 2001 Bicycle Master Plan Map.

Don Pflaum is the project manager for the Bicycle Master Plan. He can be reached at 612.673.2129 or donald.pflaum@ci.minneapolis.mn.us. The links below come from an open house which was held in June of 2008.
