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.

MerryI'd appreciate also adding some commercial zoning to the route to get coffee or a sweet treat on the walk as well as TRASH CANS!!!! That stretch along MLK is really miserable to walk along, and there's so much litter that makes walking your dog or just yourself really unpleasant....See More
