Speed enforcement is one important tool, but it works best alongside street design that naturally encourages slower speeds. The project focuses on design changes that improve safety every day, not just when enforcement is present.

Little Kate Road was identified in the Park City Bike and Pedestrian Plan as needing a higher-comfort facility. Through community surveys and field observations, residents have shared that many children and adults already ride on the sidewalk because they don’t feel safe in the street. This project responds to those concerns by providing a safer, more comfortable connection to the MARC, schools, and the Park Meadows neighborhood. 

This project leverages significant federal, state, and county funding tied to a citywide bus stop improvement program, including upgrades to transit access. By bundling these pedestrian and bicycle improvements with the bus stop work, the City can deliver safety upgrades now that would otherwise take years to fund and build independently. This approach makes the most of available resources and accelerates a project the community has identified as a priority.
