Staying active

Cupertino was set to close its survey to get feedback on current walking and biking conditions in the city on June 5. A new survey is in the works for the second phase of the Citywide Active Transportation Plan.

Phase 2 will also involve identifying and prioritizing specific infrastructure improvements and making program recommendations. In addition to the new survey, the city is also planning community workshops to gather feedback on proposed project recommendations.
