In 2014, community-based groups identified focus areas and implementation strategies for the South Park Heritage Walk. These focus areas include:

Connectivity and walkability improvements - new or improved sidewalks, lighting, and mobility-related signage (speed limit, safety) and wayfinding signs that provide local information and direction.

Public space improvements - interpretive elements that tell a story of history and culture, furnishings, landscaping, public art, and interactive elements.
