The Final Draft Plans are scheduled to be considered for adoption by the Alameda CTC Board on Thursday, October 25th, after being taken through three committees in October, as noted below.

> Together, the Draft Countywide Pedestrian and Bicycle Plans lay out the vision and steps for making Alameda County a safe and convenient place for walking and bicycling over the next 28 years. The plans describe the existing walking and bicycling conditions in the county, the priorities for countywide bike and pedestrian funding for both capital projects and programs, the total costs to implement the priorities, total expected revenue and next steps for implementing the plans.
