The Sammamish City Council held a community workshop on July 16, 2025, to discuss the Bike and Pedestrian Mobility Plan, a crucial initiative aimed at enhancing transportation options for residents. This plan is set to shape the city’s policies and projects over the next several years, integrating into both the transportation master plan and the six-year capital improvement project list.

During the meeting, city officials emphasized the importance of creating a safe, connected, and efficient network for walking, biking, and rolling throughout Sammamish. The plan aims to establish a framework for evaluating and prioritizing bicycle and pedestrian projects, ensuring that the community's needs are met effectively.

The workshop included a presentation by transportation planners who outlined the project’s goals and objectives. They highlighted the significance of community input, noting that over 280 comments were received from residents during a previous workshop in February. This feedback will help guide the development of specific project recommendations and policy updates related to complete streets and safety measures.

Looking ahead, the city plans to finalize project recommendations by early fall, with a public hearing and potential adoption of the plan scheduled for the same season. This initiative reflects Sammamish's commitment to improving mobility options and fostering a more pedestrian-friendly environment for its residents.
