Bessemer City is committed to building a community where walking is safe, accessible, and enjoyable for all. Our Pedestrian Plan is part of the City’s broader efforts to enhance walkability, strengthen connections between neighborhoods, and support the goals of a vibrant and welcoming community. By investing in sidewalks, crosswalks, and pedestrian-friendly spaces, we are working to improve quality of life, promote healthier lifestyles, and ensure that every resident and visitor can move through our city with comfort and confidence.
This plan reflects the values of Bessemer City—fostering connection, encouraging active living, and creating a more accessible community for generations to come.
