The improvements proposed in the Master Plan were for bike routes in the downtown. At the meeting, a consensus was reached that bicycle parking facilities are needed, and that these parking facilities should be dispersed throughout downtown Nantucket. The bicycle facilities improvements within the downtown should coordinate with the plans for a shuttle bus system so that people may bring their bicycles to town on the buses. Also, perimeter parking lots would allow people to bring bicycles on cars and ride into the downtown. Several plans for bicycle routes in the downtown have been proposed.
Further study is needed to settle on a preferred alternative.
The second priority, as seen by project staff , was for improvements to the heavily used Madaket Road Path. One meeting attendee expressed concerns about pavement deterioration and sand on the paths. It was also suggested that signage and pavement markings could be improved. These concerns led to a discussion of coordination and citizen input. It was suggested and discussed that a liaison within the Department of Public Works would be assigned to coordinate and address concerns with the bike paths.
