The City of Mountain Lake is developing an active transportation action plan. The plan will include key next steps to make walking, biking and rolling safer and more comfortable. The planning team is working together to develop a vision and goals for the plan. The action planning process will also include implementation support, such as technical assistance or demonstration project support.

The Mountain Lake Active Transportation Plan is building from previous work such as the city's 2015 Active Living Plan, Safe Routes to School projects, and the efforts of the Active Living Committee. The plan seeks to enhance relationships with priority populations and address key network barriers, gaps, and community destinations. Through the planning and engagement process, the city will work to envision and plan for a future where all can safely walk, bike, or roll across Mountain Lake.

Get involved

We need your help identifying how we might make walking, biking, and rolling (e.g., other mobility devices like scooters and wheelchairs) a safer, more accessible, and enjoyable option in Mountain Lake. We welcome your input and look forward to our active transportation future.
