The East Baton Rouge Bicycle + Pedestrian Master Plan was completed in August 2024. It will be adopted by the BREC Commission, Baton Rouge Planning Commission, and the MetroCouncil later this year.   The 2024 Bicycle Pedestrian Master Plan Update builds upon the successes of the 2020 Pedestrian Bicycle Master Plan, reconsiders the list of priority projects, and reevaluates the original network by phasing projects. The update includes illustrated definitions of cyclist and pedestrian facilities, a history of planning for cycling in Baton Rouge, a summary of existing conditions in the parish, maps of existing and planned network, policy and program recommendations, and a revised implementation strategy. This document is intended to be used as a guide for planners, decision-makers and anyone who wants to learn about alternative transportation options within our city. The effort was led by BREC and City-Parish, with guidance from a steering committee and assistance from HNTB.
