How will The Park improve bicycle and pedestrian connectivity?
The City street interchanges will be upgraded for pedestrian/cyclist movements resulting in improved safety including new pedestrian signal lights, enhanced crosswalks, and ADA accessibility ramps. McKinney Avenue Transit Authority (MATA) will be adding a trolley extension down an existing lane of Olive Street from McKinney Avenue to Bryan Street. This will include a trolley stop at the Park for patron’s access. This is a separate City of Dallas/MATA project with whom the Foundation is coordinating. Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) has bus stops along Woodall Rodgers Frontage Road at Harwood, Akard, St. Paul and Olive Streets. DART also has light rail access within a (walking distance) half mile at Akard, St. Paul and Pearl Streets – These both provide connectivity and park patron access through the extensive mass transit system and mobility that DART offers throughout the City of Dallas and the surrounding area. The Friends of Katy Trail retained Alta to design a urban bike trail lead
