If this is a renewing application, please summarize the most significant changes to your community’s bicycle Evaluation & Planning efforts or investments since your last BFC application. (250 word limit) Since the last Bicycle Friendly Community application, the City of Menomonie has made several significant investments in bicycle planning and infrastructure to improve connectivity and safety. The City resurfaced the Stokke Trail along the Red Cedar River, improving ride quality and accessibility on a key off-road trail corridor. The City also completed construction of the US Highway 12 multi-use trail, which connects the Dunn County Judicial Center to the existing bicycle and pedestrian network and helps close a major gap in the system. In addition, a new multi-purpose trail was constructed along Pine Avenue, creating a safe connection between Wakanda Elementary School and Wakanda Park, improving access for students and families. Looking ahead, the City is planning an off-road sidewalk/trail along Oak Avenue in a busy commercial area, anticipated for construction in 2026–2027, which will further expand the network and improve safety for bicyclists and pedestrians. These projects reflect the City’s continued commitment to implementing planned network improvements and expanding safe, connected bicycling infrastructure. © League of American Bicyclists Next BFC submission deadline: June 17, 2026 To submit a BFC application, create an account at apply.bikeleague.org.

EQUITY & ACCESSIBILITY Preview: Page 1 of 162 EQUITY & ACCESSIBILITY The League defines “ Equity ” as the just and fair inclusion into a society in which everyone can participate and prosper. The goals of equity must be to create conditions that allow all to reach their full potential, by erasing disparities in race, income, ability, geography, age, gender and sexual orientation. The principle of equity acknowledges that there are historically underserved and underrepresented populations, and that fairness regarding these unbalanced conditions is needed to assist equality in the provision of effective opportunities to all groups. “ Accessibility ” refers to improving and increasing access and mobility options for everyone, including, and in particular, for people with disabilities. The League recognizes that not every disability is visible to others, and that not every person with a permanent or temporary mobility or accessibility need identifies as ‘disabled’. Whether from a cognitive, sensory, or physical disability, or from age, temporary illness, or injury, there are people in every community who face a range of mobility challenges for whom a bike or cycle may open a world of possibilities to increase accessibility. We firmly believe that Equity & Accessibility are the essential lenses through which all other BFC work must be viewed in order to achieve a Bicycle Friendly America for everyone. As such, you will find questions and answer options related to improving equity & accessibility throughout the BFC application in each previous “E” section, in addition to this new dedicated “Equity & Accessibility” section. These Equity & Accessibility updates have been developed thanks to the input and participation of hundreds of communities and local advocates with a wide range of lived experiences and areas of expertise, to whom we are very grateful. The League presents this new section with the recognition that our work to listen, learn, and engage on the topics of Equity & Accessibility in the BFC program is not yet finished, and never will be. Equity is an ongoing practice and the League will continue to engage with partners, local advocates, and communities in the BFC program to incorporate new ideas, reflect new challenges, and continue to grow and learn. If you have questions, comments, or feedback about the updated BFC application, please email us at bfa@bikeleague.org. Thank you for continuing to learn and engage in this work along with us. -Amelia Neptune, Bicycle Friendly America program director June 2022 Bicycle Friendly Community 2026 Application Preview © League of American Bicyclists Next BFC submission deadline: June 17, 2026 To submit a BFC application, create an account at apply.bikeleague.org.

Please describe your community's anti-displacement programs or strategies for any specific transportation projects, including how you are documenting or measuring the impact or outcome of these efforts. Please include links to more information, if available. The City of Menomonie adopted a Residential Anti-Displacement and Relocation Assistance Plan in March 2026 (Resolution 2026-09) to guide federally funded projects, including transportation-related projects funded through CDBG. The City’s strategy focuses on minimizing displacement by prioritizing rehabilitation over demolition, staging construction to allow residents to remain in place when possible, and targeting only properties essential to a project. If displacement cannot be avoided, the City provides relocation assistance and payments to displaced residents in accordance with federal relocation requirements, with additional protections for lower-income households. The City also requires one-for-one replacement of any lower-income housing units that are demolished or converted as part of a project, ensuring no net loss of affordable housing. To document and measure impacts, the City tracks replacement housing units, timelines, and funding sources, and publicly reports project information and replacement housing plans. The City Clerk and Finance offices are responsible for tracking replacement units and administering relocation assistance, ensuring compliance and accountability.

(OPEN-ENDED) Since the last Bicycle Friendly Community application, the City of Menomonie has made significant improvements to equity and accessibility through targeted trail and infrastructure investments. The completion of the multi-use trail connection along US Highway 12 between the Dunn County Judicial Center and the Government Center closed a critical gap in the bicycle and pedestrian Bicycle Friendly Community 2026 Application Preview © League of American Bicyclists Next BFC submission deadline: June 17, 2026 To submit a BFC application, create an account at apply.bikeleague.org. EQUITY & ACCESSIBILITY Preview: Page 11 of 162 network. This project significantly improved safety and accessibility for individuals without access to a vehicle, including Huber program participants from the Dunn County Jail who travel to jobs in the community. Prior to the trail connection, individuals were cycling and walking along the shoulder of US Highway 12 in a 60 mph speed zone to access employment and services. The new off-road trail provides a safe, separated route that improves access to jobs, government services, and the broader bike and pedestrian network. This project represents a major equity-focused infrastructure improvement by providing safer transportation options for individuals who rely on walking and bicycling as primary transportation.
