City of Miami
2026 Bike Masterplan

Miami has a once-in-a-generation opportunity to build a city where biking is safe and accessible for everyone. The City of Miami is developing a new comprehensive Bicycle Master Plan, but too often, these plans are made without the input of people they're supposed to serve. The 2026 plan must reflect the needs of Miami's communities, and the City must commit to building it.

2026 Bike Masterplan

Why This Mattters

The City of Miami adopted its first Bicycle Master Plan in 2009. Over a decade later, biking in this city is still dangerous. The existing network is disconnected: a patchwork of segments that go nowhere and end abruptly. Most segments that do exist offer little protection to those brave enough to use it. Why should a world-class city like Miami offer such a subpar cycling experience? Why does cycling from one neighborhood to the next mean taking your life into your hands? 

We are demanding the City pass a Bicycle Master Plan that is actually built, with safe and connected infrastructure that makes cycling a real mobility option for everyone regardless of neighborhood. We refuse to accept sharrows as a substitute.  

Sharrows alone are not bike lanes – studies have shown that sharrows are ineffective or even dangerous. Cyclists can’t count on them to be safe, so neither should the City.

Our Goal? Pass it. Build it. All of it.

We're asking for two things: a strong plan, and a real commitment to build it.
Not in 20 years. Not eventually. By 2031.
The City of Miami Commission must  pass the Bicycle Master Plan and adopt a binding amendment: the City must use community-developed criteria to select 10 projects to be completed within the next five years, i.e., by June 2031, if current and projected funding and project management factors are stable. Clear goals and a defined timeline are the only way to hold the City accountable to its commitments.

Together with Bike Coconut Grove, we developed eight clear criteria for selecting the 10 bicycling projects to be prioritized under the 2026 Bicycle Master Plan. 

The 8 Selection Criteria

#1 image

At least one project for each of Miami’s five electoral districts. The remaining five projects should be selected irrespective of the district.

#2 image

Consistency with the ratings in the June 9, 2025 Bicycle Facility Prioritization Scores Developed by Kimley-Horn for the City of Miami Bicycle Master Plan. Safety above all.

#3 image

Connectivity with the proposed bicycle network in the 2026 Bicycle Master Plan and/or existing bike infrastructure.

#4 image

Focus on City-owned streets to avoid jurisdictional impediments. 

#5 image

Integration with connections to public transportation, such as Metrorail and Metrobus hubs, to facilitate first- and last-mile travel, as well as community assets and amenities such as trails, schools, parks, and businesses.

#6 image

Eligibility for full funding under current revenue streams and likely funding sources in the next five years. This assumes the City will identify which programs and sources of funding are available for these types of capital improvements.

#7 image

High-quality, innovative design and no use of sharrows. Sharrows are not acceptable bicycling infrastructure and create unsafe conditions for both bicyclists and motorists.

#8 image

Involve community context: 
- Neighborhoods that already have high levels of bicycling and pedestrian activity and/or active neighborhood support for bicycling and walking.
- Lower-income, disadvantaged areas.
- Neighborhoods with verifiable traffic safety disparities, e.g. Little Havana, with high rates of traffic problems and crashes, vs. Shenandoah, with lower rates

Community Input is Critical


The City has opened a public feedback process for the Bicycle Master Plan,  and you don't have to be a Miami resident or a cyclist to weigh in. A safe, connected cycling network benefits everyone who spends time in the City. Every person who chooses a bike is one less car on the road. This plan should be built with input from the full community it will serve: riders, drivers, commuters, and everyone in between.
