Bicycles and Pedestrians

The Florida Planning and Zoning Association (FPZA) recently purchased 70 bike racks for Downtown Orlando in order to make a contribution to their community to promote bicycle transportation. As part of the downtown bicycle parking plan, the racks have been installed throughout the Downtown. Many racks are located near destinations like City Hall, Lake Eola Park, banks, major office towers, grocery stores, and restaurants to make riding a bike for transportation a more convenient choice.

Mayor Buddy Dyer installed some of the racks on a recent work-along at one of our community centers. On a regular basis, the Mayor will work with different departments in the City to meet City employees and learn what their jobs entail. The Mayor has participated in several work-alongs with Transportation including audits to determine the walkability of downtown, Bike to Work Day, and senior walking groups.

As a Bicycle Friendly Community, the City of Orlando has 250 miles of trails, bike lanes and signed routes providing a connected bikeway system everyone can use.
