When communities invest in bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, it makes the streets safer for everyone. As National Bicycle Safety Month gets underway, learn about Waggoner bike path projects that have enhanced and transformed where we live and play.
Brooks Avenue Bike Path
Pelahatchie, MS
With an influx of campers to nearby Jellystone Park, the Town of Pelahatchie had a real opportunity to attract these visitors to discover and patronize the reviving downtown.
Waggoner designed a campground-to-town bike path along Brooks Avenue that invites these guests to downtown Pelahatchie. The approximate length of the bike path is 1.46 miles.
Lake Harbour Drive Extension
Ridgeland, MS
Waggoner provided the full range of consultant services for Lake Harbour Drive Extension. This critical east-west corridor is a four-lane, divided roadway with a parallel multi-use trail. The trail is paved and provides bike and pedestrian access over Interstate 55. The project provided vehicles, bikes, and pedestrians with a shorter, safer route with lower speeds and better accessibility to locations previously served by narrow, two-lane roads.
West Jackson Street Bike Trail
Ridgeland, MS
The project included the construction of two bike trail connections from the existing multi-use path adjacent to the Natchez Trace to the West Jackson Street Overlay District.
Project improvements include approximately 1,100 linear feet of a bike trail, including the associated grading and drainage, design, and coordination of utility relocations, paving, and landscaping.
Hinds Parkway – Segment Two
Hinds County, MS
Hinds Parkway is an 18-mile, urban, arterial corridor in southern Hinds County. The corridor is designed to be integrated into the existing fabric of the communities it connects, creating opportunities for economic development, environmental and community preservation, and recreational activities.
The design includes separated multi-use trails and access limitations to promote public safety. The sidewalks along the two lane roadway have walking and biking trails.
