Beginning in Summer 2019, community feedback has shaped the Trail, Pedestrian, and Bicycle Master Plan. Through both virtual and in-person events, we learned more about how people get around today and how they travel. In early 2020, Milpitas residents and visitors provided feedback on the draft recommended projects.
Although COVID-19 impacted how you can share feedback, we have received more than 2,000 comments and points of feedback to date.
