Greater Lowell Bicycle & Pedestrian Plan

Safe and Connected Streets for All

Imagine a region with safe sidewalks, connected bike lanes, and accessible transportation for all. The Greater Lowell Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan is a collaborative effort between NMCOG, the Northern Middlesex Metropolitan Planning Organization (NMMPO), project consultant Toole Design Group, and the Greater Lowell community to improve walking and biking infrastructure. Together, we aim to: 

  • Close gaps in bike and pedestrian networks 

  • Enhance safety for all road users 

  • Build a connected, sustainable transportation system 

  • Ensure community voices shape future investments
