Overview

Through 2027, Park City Municipal is upgrading about 65% of all bus stops citywide (see our Bus Stop Improvement page). As new stops and shelters are built, the City is also filling key gaps in the pedestrian and bicycle network to make it safer and easier for people of all ages to walk, roll, or bike—whether to a bus stop or other destinations.

Building on community feedback from the Pedestrian & Bicycle Plan, Park City Forward, and the Neighborhoods First Streets Program, the City is considering active transportation improvements in the Park Meadows neighborhood. Supported by a mix of federal, county, and local funding, we are evaluating improvements along Little Kate Road and Lucky John Drive to enhance walking and biking facilities, calm traffic speeds, and strengthen Safe Routes to School connections for students and families.




Little Kate Road

Little Kate is currently a two-lane, 20 mph road with conventional bike lanes in both directions and a sidewalk on the north side of the roadway.

What We Started With

  • Little Kate carries medium volumes of bicyclists and pedestrians, with a roadway width of about 38 feet.
  • The existing sidewalk on the north side of the corridor directly accesses the MARC and is along a Safe Route to School
  • Existing bike lanes are inconsistent, with multiple residents riding on the sidewalk to avoid conflicts with vehicles.
  • Based on FHWA guidance and public input, staff prioritized designs that support “all ages and abilities.”

Where We Are Now

To identify the preferred design for Little Kate Road, Park City staff are evaluating several concepts focused on improving safety and comfort for people walking and biking. Roadway width, cost, and maintenance needs will also be considered for the design.

To inform the pathway project, staff reviewed vehicle speeds, traffic volumes, and pedestrian and bicycle activity along Little Kate Road. Traffic varies along the street, with up to about 6,000 cars per day in the busiest area near the MARC. Speed data shows the 85th percentile (85% of vehicles are at or below) is around 28 mph, above the posted 20 mph limit. At those speeds and traffic volumes, the street is on the higher end of what typically feels comfortable for people biking, especially children and less experienced riders. The City has also collected pedestrian and bicycle counts near the MARC. In a 24-hour period in September 2025, staff counted 107 people walking and 172 people biking, with walkers making up roughly 30 to 40% of users and bicyclists 60 to 70%.

What We are Planning

On April 30, 2026, City Council has requested alternatives that separate different user groups and address vehicle speeds be further explored. While a 12' shared-use path was originally planned along Little Kate Road, the community raised concerns about mixing users in one shared space. City staff are exploring concepts to improve bicycle and pedestrian safety while keeping users separate.

City Staff will present concept ideas to City Council on May 7, 2026.

Monitor Drive Improvements

Following a City Council discussion on February 3, Monitor Drive will no longer be included in this project.

What's Next?

City staff will present high-level bicycle and pedestrian improvement concepts for Little Kate Road to City Council on May 7, 2026. With Council direction, a preferred concept will be further refined and brought back to City Council on July 9, 2026. If Council supports the refined concept, construction would be anticipated in 2027. This page will be updated once more information is available.

Engagement Opportunities

We will be discussing Little Kate bicycle and pedestrian improvement concepts at the June 2 Citywide Open House. More details about the Open House to come soon!
