Creating a Walking Environment
The University should foster a more collegial academic environment
by creating a circulation system that promotes walking, cycling
and light transit service as primary modes of transportation around
Grounds. By emphasizing pedestrians and cyclists over vehicles,
a safer environment is also established. Planning initiatives in
support of this principle include:
| •
|
Establishing a network of walkways, known as the "Groundswalk",
linking all areas of the University |
| • |
Restricting
vehicular traffic on McCormick Road and widening sidewalks |
| • |
Installing a sidewalk and bicycle path along the north
side of Jefferson Park Avenue |
| • |
Constructing
a bicycle/pedestrian path to Hereford College from the
Alderman Road Dormitories |
| • |
Creating
a pedestrian bridge connection over Jefferson Park Avenue
behind Cabell Hall as part of the South Lawn project |
| • |
Constructing
a pedestrian bridge over Emmet Street |
