Budget Approval and Advocacy
While this continued investment in our quality-of-life infrastructure is a major win, the journey isn't over yet. The capital program is a proposal that still requires formal review and final approval by the Sioux Falls City
Council as part of the broader budget process rolling out through July, August, and September.
Additionally, with our newly sworn-in mayor, Christine Erickson, taking the reins, community priorities and administrative focuses may evolve in future cycles.
How Falls Area Bicyclists (FAB) is Involved
As an organization dedicated to making Sioux Falls a better, safer place to ride, FAB will be keeping a close eye on this funding as it moves through the city council approval stages. We advocate actively for robust active transportation infrastructure, and seeing multi-million dollar investments directed toward trails is a testament to what happens when a community values mobility and health.
We encourage our members, bike commuters, recreational riders, and local advocates to stay engaged, support smart investments in active transportation, and let our city leaders know how much these trails matter to our daily lives.
Together, we can ensure Sioux Falls keeps moving forward!
