Circulation PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE The Facilities Development Plan recommends the further development of pedestrian and bicycle paths on and around campus. The existing city bike path that parallels the Tail Race allows the public and students to access Kearney to the south of Highway 30. The Map 11: Future Campus Pedestrian & Bicycle Circulation CHAPTER 5 campus commitment to further reduction of parking and roads from the interior of campus is creating a wonderful network of paths and green spaces within the campus. The campus planting plan includes design standards for pedestrian amenities. legend pedestrian routes bike trails 55
Facilities Development Plan VEHICULAR The campus has good perimeter access via West 24 th Street and 8 th Avenue. Because of excellent perimeter access and the long rectangular shape of the campus, interior streets are not required for access. The elimination of interior streets should be continued. Interior streets cause confl icts with pedestrian movement. Some parking lots are located in areas where they cause visual or functional intrusions. Improvements to these lots are being studied within the Campus Planting Plan. Mass transit of students around campus has been considered. The campus will continue to look at the feasibility of such a system. A potential route is noted on the map located on page 50. The Health and Sports Center, the Fine Arts Center, and the Student Union generate large volumes of public traffi c and parking requirements for events. These facilities are located mid-campus causing traffi c to enter and exit via campus streets. Development of parking and circulation paths for these facilities would improve campus circulation. Expansion of campus parking will be needed during this planning period. Beyond the numerical need for spaces is a perceived lack of convenient parking. The eastern side of campus contains 62% of parking spaces, where 77% of classes are taught and 85% of resident students live. This suggests that policy or pricing changes may be needed to encourage parking further from fi nal destinations. 56 2006 - 2015 Continued discussions are needed with the City of Kearney and the State of Nebraska on safety issues concerning streets adjacent to campus. Solutions to slowing the speed of traffi c on 9 th Avenue to protect pedestrians crossing the street need to be developed. The reconstruction of the southeast entrance of campus known as “the curve” will address safety concerns as well as provide a more attractive main entrance to campus. Discussions with the State of Nebraska will also include the State’s plan of relocating portions of Highway 30 which affects the northern edge of the west farmland property. SERVICE AND DELIVERY ROUTES Vehicular service points and access routes wherever possible (making allowances for buildings without service points) should be consolidated. The intrusion of vehicles into the pedestrian campus core should be minimized. All sidewalks and plazas are to be designed to be used by service and emergency vehicles. CHAPTER 5
