September 2025 Update:

Great news! Lavender Pit East Segment (Queen Mine tour to Lowell), is scheduled for construction in 2026! Thank you to all who helped make that happen! 

BUT WE STILL NEED YOUR HELP to fund the West segment (from the Queen Mine Tour to the Lyric Plaza crosswalk), and to keep Bisbee Bikeways going.  We must raise our match of $130K! 

Help keep Bisbee connected and donate now! Thank you! 

Every donation brings us closer to safer streets.

Bisbee Bikeways is a project of the 501c3 Ecotopia.

Community Connections Master Plan

We’re creating a safe, connected network of shared-use paths for Bisbee and Naco. These paths are designed for both walkers and cyclists, separated from car traffic. The Lavender Pit is the FIRST path to be built. Help us figure out the rest! Where do YOU want to see paths?

We want your input! Add comments to our interactive map. Need help? Watch our short “how to” video to get started!

Transforming Rural Arizona, One Safe Path at a Time

Who We Are

Founded in 2018, the Bisbee Bikeways Project is a grassroots movement tackling the dangers of car-centric infrastructure in rural Arizona. We are deeply connected to our community and committed to making our roads safer for everyone.

The Problem

Arizona is the 2nd most dangerous state for pedestrians, with crisis-level injuries and fatalities. State and local agencies continue prioritizing cars over people, leaving walkers and cyclists without safe routes.

Take our quick survey!

Our Mission

Environment

Reducing carbon emissions

Environment

Shifting just 10% of Bisbee’s short car trips to walking or biking would reduce CO₂ emissions by over 92.5 tons annually, with even greater impact as the network grows.

Community

Enhancing community well-being through active transportation

Community

Surveys show 84% of residents and nearly 80% of tourists would choose walking or biking over driving if the path were available, strengthening access and connectivity across Bisbee and beyond.

Economy

Boosting economic development

Economy

Specific to the Lavender Pit path, 35 businesses estimate it will create 326 jobs, save 182, and spur $5.48 million in private investment—an impact that will multiply with a full network.

Our Impact

Despite massive challenges, we are driving real change:

What's Next?

Construction on our first major project, the Lavender Pit Shared Use Path, starts next year and the overall network is underway! See the interactive map above. This is just the beginning of a safer, more connected Bisbee and Cochise County.

Join us—because one more life lost is one too many.
