Complete Streets Prioritization Plan
The Town of Lincoln, through the Complete Streets Working Group developed a new five-year Complete Streets Prioritization Plan. Complete Streets is a state funded grant program to help municipalities improve their streets to accommodate users of all ages and abilities, whether driving, cycling, or walking. Each municipality is allowed up to $400,000 through a four year rolling period. You can view the new plan and proposed projects below. The Updated Prioritization Plan and Project List was approved on February 16, 2023.

The Working Group used an online platform Wikimapping to garner feedback on where in Town residents would like to see improvements for walking, cycling, driving, and public transit.
Residents shared their thoughts about transportation issues and opportunities: https://wikimapping.com/lincoln_completestreets.html. The portal was active for over four weeks.
Residents could also participate by completing a short google form: https://forms.gle/Ww3fr6YqvftgsWBu9
