The Highland Park Bike Walk Advisory Group
The Highland Park Bike Walk Advisory Group (BWAG) is affiliated with the city Transportation Advisory Group and focuses on increasing the viability and safety of non-automotive travel. BWAG pursues activities and initiatives aligned to the Highland Park Bike Walk HP 2030 Plan and the League of American Bicyclists' "Bike-Friendly City" program. 

Recent efforts include: 

  • Encouraging students to use more "active” means to get to and from school through "Bike to School Day” in conjunction with Highland Park School District 112
  • Promoting road sharing between cars and bikes through new signage and markings on bike routes (part of the Bike Walk HP 2030 Plan)
  • Providing a safe, fun bike route within our communities through a Family-Friendly Bikeway project in the Highlands neighborhood

All BWAG activities are designed to support a thriving, healthy, safe, and sustainable community in Highland Park.
