Building a Multimodal Future
The City of Belmont is developing a Transportation Master Plan that reimagines how people move — making streets safer, connections easier, and everyday trips more reliable whether traveling on foot, by bike, on transit, or by car. The plan will identify gaps in the transportation network and set a clear path for future investments that help the community move more seamlessly.
