Park City Trails Master Plan Update & Walkable/Bikeable Neighborhood Study

Landmark Design completed a unique plan for Park City. The purpose of the plan is to analyze the "walkability" and "bikeability" of the city and provide planning and design suggestions that improve walking and biking within the urban environment. The planning process included compiling a comprehensive inventory of bicycle and pedestrian routes and facilities, and documentation of community assets and facilities. A list of preliminary issues were then developed and ranked and placed into one of five tiers presenting how well they met walkability goals, based according to defined evaluation criteria.

The public played a major role in defining these issues through a telephone survey; a series of school, neighborhood, community, and public forum meetings; with input from City Staff, a Steering Committee and the Share the Road Committee. The result is a comprehensive system of improvement projects that are "doable" with resources available and without major shifts in public funding, and makes the pedestrian environment safer and easier to navigate. The plan is expected to be adopted by the City Fall 2007.
