Our Mission

The Walk-Bike Council of Addison County is a citizen-led advisory group with an ear to the ground on walking and bicycling issues and opportunities for all abilities.  The Council operates from the premise that bicycling and walking are essential modes of transit and recreation, and that increasing opportunities and awareness for safe walking and bicycling are good for Addison County as a whole.  It envisions a future where better conditions for safe walking and biking result in:

  • Improved access to amenities and services
  • Healthier lifestyles
  • A better sense of place, and
  • A cleaner environment

The Council is divided into Working Groups as shown below; please click on a photo to learn more:

    NEW Middlebury Downtown Bike Parking Map

    Recently, Middlebury Safe Routes and the Better Middlebury Partnership (BMP) collaborated on the creation of a map showing bike parking locations in the downtown area. With more folks choosing bikes instead of cars for their trips around town, and with construction taking away some vehicle parking areas behind the town offices and the Ilsley, Middlebury Safe Routes and BMP felt it would be helpful to create a map showing the bike racks around town. It also serves to highlight work the town has done in recent years to place bike racks near transportation hubs, important services, and many of our local businesses and eateries. Check out their work below.
