What We’ve Heard So Far

From April 7 to June 10, 2025, we hosted an online Community Survey and Virtual Open House to better understand priorities and needs.

Participation at a Glance:

Key Findings from the Survey

• Broad Community Interest & Participation: Wide age range represented, majority live and work in Oxford

• Walking & Biking Uses Today: Primarily for recreation and social activities but also commuting and errands

• Top Priorities: Safer, more protected, and connected infrastructure; separated bike paths and protected lanes

• Barriers & Safety Concerns: Missing sidewalks, gaps in the network, and traffic safety concerns (especially for cyclists)

• Supported Improvements: Traffic calming and better lighting to increase comfort and safety

• Key Destinations: Uptown businesses and city parks are the most requested locations for improved access

• Strong Community Support: Strong overall support for developing the Bike & Pedestrian Master Plan, with some questions about specific destination access.
