Belmont Pedestrian and Hiking Information

Within our General Plan — our overall vision for the city until 2035, there is a Circulation Element with both the current status (sections 3.1 - 3.3) and the visions and goals and policies for improvement (sections 3.4 - end): https://www.belmont.gov/home/showpublisheddocument/16481/636651104115230000

In addition to the General Plan, the Belmont Village Specific Plan (a plan for the more downtown areas of Belmont) Chapter 3 has a circulation element related to villages' mobility plan to address walkability, biking and transit related items: https://www.belmont.gov/departments/community-development/belmont-village-specific-plan

The City of Belmont is working on funding a Transportation Master Plan to have one source for all this information, but to look at a current document that does a good summary of all the current and planned safety improvements for all traffic — walk, bike, drive — check out: https://ccag.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/28717_CCAG-Countywide-LRSP-Belmont-Chapter.pdf
