The Cape Cod Commission is employing new technology to provide a broader picture of pedestrian and bicycle use of our roadways and shared-use paths.

This month, Senator Elizabeth Warren, Senator Ed Markey, and Representative Bill Keating released a report detailing the urgent need to replace the Bourne and Sagamore bridges. Entitled “Cape Cod Bridges Replacement: An Urgent Need,” the report includes data and information from thirty-six local stakeholders, including the Cape Cod Commission, highlighting the critical regional importance of the bridges.

A new report issued by the Federal Highway Administration highlights the Cape Cod Commission’s ongoing collaborative work with the Cape Cod National Seashore, including the effort to produce and implement the Outer Cape Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan.
