In 2017, the Village of Northbrook initiated the planning process for a new Master Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan. This Plan serves as vision and blueprint for building a more bikeable and walkable Northbrook. This plan was accepted by the Village Board in July 2018. In April 2022, the Village of Northbrook completed a status update to the plan which included a memorandum as well as updates to the Master Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan
As part of the plan, recommendations for both short-range and long-range infrastructure recommendations, like new sidewalks, bike lanes, and trails, as well as policy recommendations and programming opportunities designed to make walking and bicycling, safer, more convenient, and more enjoyable for people of all ages and abilities were included. This Plan will be incorporated into other Plans, such as the annual Capital Improvement Plan. Below are links to the plan itself as well as its exhibits, followed by the April 2022 status update:
