The Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) was formed as a part of creating and implementing the 2003 CityTrails program. BPAC members have been actively involved in discussions that affect the City’s built environment and transportation system. Those who are interested in helping improve bicycling and walking conditions in St. Petersburg should apply. Applicants must also be willing and available to consistently attend meetings. Meetings are held on the third Wednesday of each month at 7:30 a.m. at St. Petersburg City Hall.
