Bike Network Plan
Bike Network Plan
The 2025 San Antonio Bike Network Plan (BNP) is a plan to provide safer, more comfortable bike paths for those who use bicycles for recreation, work, and travel. The plan recommends the construction of more than 1700 miles of new or upgraded bike infrastructure in the coming years, to be paid for by a variety of funding sources.
Events
Bike Network Plan Open House #2
Join us at the Ramon V. Quintero Community Center (formerly known as Southside Lions Community Center) for our final public input meeting regarding the Bike Network Plan!
Residents can still provide valuable feedback through comment cards and map comments at the event. This feedback will be incorporated into the final plan where applicable, with a completed plan expected early next year.
The BNP is reviewing current San Antonio bike-related ordinances and needs your input! We want to ensure that future regulations achieve safer streets and account for all transportation modes in planning, design, and implementation of bike lanes as they relate to citizens’ transportation needs.
Watch this space for a future survey where you can lend your voice to our BNP.

Project Timeline
2011
The 2011 San Antonio Bicycle Master Plan & Implementation Strategy, led by the City of San Antonio’s Office of Environmental Policy, was adopted by San Antonio City Council on September 29, 2011.
$150,000 was subsequently allocated for plan implementation.
2016
Annual funding of $1,000,000 for Bike Infrastructure Maintenance Plan (Bike IMP) begins.
2022
The 2011 Bicycle Master Plan eventually required an update to enhance safety & accessibility, so $2.7 million was allocated in the FY 2022 Budget to update the 2011 Bike Master Plan into the Bike Network Plan (BNP).
2023
Bike Network Plan data collection begins:
- Audit of existing conditions / assessment of bike facility Inventory
- Launch map-based survey to San Antonio residents
- Initiate meetings with transportation partners and stakeholders
BNP Phase I
Phase 1 of the BNP is completed. The public gave insight into their bike riding habits, their desire to ride bikes, and whether they'd consider other modes of transportation in getting to work, school, or other activities.
BNP Phase II
Phase 2 of the BNP is completed. The public was asked to contribute to a brief survey to better understand what kind of bike infrastructure is preferred, as well as potential solutions to biking issues in San Antonio.
BNP Phase III
Phase 3 of collecting input from the public is complete. This phase involved highlighting key connection points between bike riders, future bike riders, and their destinations.
Phase 4: Analyze the data
Using the data and public input, the Transportation Department is designing a comprehensive, safe, comfortable bike network for the City to be recommended to the City Council by early 2025.
January 30, 2025
Bike Network Plan (BNP) is accepted by City Council! There will be an implementation component to the plan to guide future funding and bond efforts in street and bicycle facilities.
BNP Implementation
Projects are being identified for design in collaboration with City departments such as Capital Delivery, Public Works, Parks & Recreation, and council districts.
