The Bicycle Advisory Committee (BAC) is an advisory committee to the Mayor, city Council, and Park Board. The Committee meets to discuss proposed projects that affect roadways and, therefore, cyclists and motorists. This meeting is relevant to anyone who uses any form of transit, including bicycles, e-bikes, public transportation, and/or personal vehicles. Come learn what changes might occur in your neighborhood and city at large and share your voice.
BAC serves as a liaison to bicyclists, businesses, neighborhoods, and other communities and agencies. BAC members are appointees from each ward, three Park Board appointees, and voting members representing the City Council, City departments, and partner organizations such as Minneapolis Public Schools, Metro Transit, and MnDOT. All BAC meetings are open to the public.
The BAC meets monthly as a full committee and has two subcommittees that also meet monthly. Meetings take place in Room 100AB of the Public Service Building.
