BOYLE PARK
A twelve foot class I asphalt bike path is planned beginning at the north end
of Boyle Park near Glenmere Drive moving southward and roughly parallel to
Boyle Park Road. Lights are planned at 100' centers for this facility. It
continues through the pavilion area and connects to the bridge that loops
the bike system into the natural area of the park. In this area an existing six
foot path is planned to be widen to twelve feet in order to accommodate
both bikers and pedestrians. This will loop trail users back at the north end.
The two existing bridges that cross Rock Creek also will be replaced with
wider bridge structures. Some seating and resting areas along the bikeways
are planned as well. This project will enhance linkages with existing
bikeways and continue the extension planned south to the newly acquired
West Little Rock Park site.
4800 linear feet of twelve foot class I bike path.
5400 linear feet of widened bike path (upgraded to class 1).
WAR MEMORIAL PARK
A combination of a six foot class II asphalt bike lane and a six foot concrete
pedestrian path is planned to run from the intersection of 1 -630 and Fair
Park Boulevard along the east side of Fair Park Boulevard to the stadium's
drive. A six foot tree planting strip is proposed between these two facilities
to provide safety and beautification for the entire stretch. A sheltered rest
area for the bikers similar to the bus shelter is planned near the intersection
of Fair Park Boulevard and Park Drive. Some wall construction, curb and
gutter removal and reconstruction and fence relocation at the Zoo will be
necessary to implement this project. This project will improve not only the
bikers accessibility but also pedestrian movement for football games and
Zoo events.
2650 linear feet of six foot class II asphalt bike lane.
2650 linear feet of tree planting strip.
2650 linear feet of six foot pedestrian path.
JIMERSON CREEK BIKEWAY
Phase 11 development will consist of a six foot class II asphalt bike lane on
the south side of the recently completed road (Rebsamen Parkway) and a
twelve foot class I bike path to the north side. These two facilities will pick
up where the phase I cul -de -sac is proposed to end and continue westward
to terminate at River Mountain Road. Several parking areas are planned
along this stretch. Also planned is a small rest area which will consist of a
pavilion, picnic tables, benches and a fishing pier. This project will
significantly improve the reach westward that provides our citizens the
choice to not only recreate along a beautiful parkway but to also commute
between home and work in a safe environment.
3400 linear feet of twelve foot class I asphalt bike path.
1300 linear feet of six foot class 11 asphalt bike lane.
