2017 Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan

The City of Jacksonville's 2017 Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan offers a detailed strategy to improve safety, accessibility, and connectivity for pedestrians and cyclists across the city. The plan lays out a clear path to create a strong active transportation network, focusing on a prioritized system of bike facilities and pedestrian upgrades. It features an extensive list of impactful projects targeting key routes to enhance safety and ease of use.

Drawing on community input and data-driven methods, the plan works to improve walkability and bike-friendliness while supporting broader quality-of-life goals. It aims to make Jacksonville a more attractive place for residents and visitors who prefer active travel options. Among its key efforts are the citywide installation of rectangular rapid flashing beacons (RRFBs) at dangerous crossings—sped up by ordinances like 2018-189-E—and the adoption of a Vision Zero policy to eliminate all traffic fatalities.

The plan encourages teamwork with residents and stakeholders to address transportation challenges, including poor infrastructure and behavioral issues. It sets a ten-year timeline for completing hundreds of projects to fill gaps in the pedestrian and bike network. Adopted by the City Council in February 2019, the Master Plan represents a major move toward making Jacksonville one of Florida’s most walkable and bike-friendly cities.
