Bicycle Master Plan Adopted

December 9, 2003

What is the Bicycle Master Plan?

Bicycle travel is an important, environmentally-friendly transportation alternative for both commuting and recreation that also serves as an easy method to reduce traffic congestion. To promote bicycle travel, the City of Burbank created a Bicycle Master Plan to encourage bicycling and ensure that adequate facilities are maintained within the City to serve bicycle riders of all ages and skill sets. The City recognizes that a safe and effective bikeway network enhances the quality of life for residents and visitors to the City.


The Bicycle Master Plan serves as a policy document to guide the development and maintenance of a bicycle network, support facilities, and other programs for Burbank over the next 20 years. These policies address important issues related to the City's bikeways, such as planning, community involvement, utilization of existing resources, facility design, multi-modal integration, safety education, support facilities, as well as specific programs, implementation, maintenance, and funding. Also the Bicycle Master Plan allows the City to become eligible for annual state funding opportunities for bicycle projects.

Below are links to download each chapter of the plan. The plan is available in Adobe PDF format. The Adobe Reader (free download) is required to view these documents.

Bikeway Maps

Below are links the bikeway maps included in the larger plan. While all of these routes have been shown to be feasible, they are currently noted on the map for future study only. As required by Caltrans, the Bicycle Master Plan must show a prioritized ranking of proposed, feasible routes to be eligible for grant funding. Individual routes shown on the Proposed Routes Maps are detailed in Chapter 5 of the Plan.

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns regarding the Bicycle Master Plan, please contact David Kriske in the Transportation Division at (818) 238-5270, or via email at dkriske@ci.burbank.ca.us. We look forward to hearing from you!
