Park Meadows Bike and Ped Projects
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 strongly considered designs that support “all ages and abilities.”
Little Kate Road Existing Cross-SectionHow We Got Here
To inform the 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%. Roadway improvements will be furthered refined based on community feedback.
What We are Planning
On April 30, 2026, City Council 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 presented three high-level concept ideas to City Council on May 7, 2026, and followed up with the same concepts at the June 2 Citywide Projects Open House.
What's Next?
With community feedback, preferred concepts will be further refined and brought back to City Council on July 9 and August 13, 2026. If Council supports a refined concept, construction would be anticipated in 2027.
Concepts being considered, and looking for public feedback, includes:
Concept 1a: Bike lanes with minimal buffer. Potential for wider sidewalk. 
Concept 1b: Bike lanes with vertical buffer. Potential for wider sidewalk. 
Concept 2: Bike lanes on the south side of roadway, either raised or separated from traffic with a buffer. Potential for wider sidewalk.
Concept 3: Raised bike lanes.Tradeoffs - It's important to keep in mind the impacts the different concepts may have. This includes roadway width, costs, bicycle and pedestrian safety and comfort, and traffic calming.
June 23, 2026, Little Kate Road Open House. Park City is evaluating multiple concepts for walking, biking, and traffic safety improvements that keep bikes and pedestrians separate and is seeking resident input before moving forward. Join us to review the alternatives, discuss the project with staff, and share your ideas for the future of Park Meadows.
Online Survey - Coming Soon! An online survey to gather the community's feedback on Little Kate Road concepts will be live June 10-30.
