Bicycle and Pedestrian Committee
Vision from The Plan
Wauwatosa will continue to be attractive as a
healthy, safe, and livable community because it
facilitates bicycling and walking as travel and
recreation options for residents, visitors, and
businesses. Bicycling and walking will be integral
components of quality of life, economic
development, and accessibility features of the city.
Bicycle and Pedestrian Committee
Recommendation
Carry forward unused Bicycle and Pedestrian
Committee funds from the 2015 Capital Budget to
the 2016 Capital Budget.
2016 Capital Budget allocates an estimated
$200,000 (approximately $50,000 carryover plus
previous 2016 $150,000 forecast) to implement
recommendations
of the Bicycle and Pedestrian Committee.
