Bicycle and Pedestrian Committee · Meeting of May 12, 2026
Falmouth bicycle committee survey identifies major safety hazards at Steamship Authority. The Bicycle and Pedestrian Committee presented results from a survey on cyclist and pedestrian safety at the Steamship Authority, with most respondents citing hazards at terminal parking, RR Avenue, and Luscome Street. Committee Chair Katherine Jansen highlighted the Shining Sea Bikeway exit as particularly problematic, noting cyclists lack a safe route around vehicle traffic.
The committee identified potential solutions including a dedicated bike lane on RR Avenue and plans to work with the Department of Public Works. The committee unanimously voted to approach the Falmouth Police Department about preparing to apply for a Municipal Road Safety Funding Program grant to fund intersection monitoring and safety equipment distribution.
