Port Moves - A New Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan

Post Date:09/18/2024 10:23 AM

Port Moves is an exciting effort to make using active transportation (walking, biking, and rolling) in Port Washington easier, safer, and more convenient. The City has just started work on the plan, which will include a framework of policies, programs, and infrastructure improvements to make walking, biking, and rolling more fun, safe, and convenient in Port.

Right now, we are doing citywide public engagement to better understand how Port residents currently experience the City on foot or bike, and where there are barriers or opportunities to improve walking and biking. We’d love for you to participate in any of the following ways:

  • Fill out our online interactive webmap. The webmap begins with a brief survey asking how you feel about the current active transportation network in the City (sidewalks, bike facilities, trails, crossings, etc.), and where there are opportunities to make it better. Once the survey is complete, the webmap allows you to draw and pinpoint exactly where you have thoughts and ideas. This webmap can be found here and will be open through October 31st.
  • Pop-up events. Keep your eyes peeled around town for Port Moves pop-up stations where we’ll have a few fun, quick, and easy activities to get your feedback on walking and biking in Port! We are currently determining the dates, places, and times for these events and will update this page once they are confirmed.
    • Farmer's Market: October 19th  
    • High School Library: October 22nd

Check back here for updates, project outreach opportunities, and other active transportation-related news.  

If you have any questions about the project, please contact Rob Vanden Noven, Port Washington Director of Public Works rvandennoven@portwashingtonwi.gov
