Provo City is set to enhance pedestrian and cyclist safety with new infrastructure improvements discussed during the recent TMAC meeting on March 20, 2025. Key among the proposals is the construction of a wider, 10-foot sidewalk along South State Street, which aims to accommodate both pedestrians and cyclists, ensuring safer access to the area near the train station.

City officials confirmed that the new sidewalk will feature crosswalks at critical intersections, including First East and 400 East, with plans for additional signage to guide both cyclists and pedestrians. The initiative responds to community concerns about current access management, particularly in areas where bike lanes are often obstructed by debris.

While there are no immediate plans for a sidewalk on the north side of the street between First and University, officials acknowledged the need for future developments as new structures are built. The meeting also highlighted discussions about separating different types of users on multi-use paths to prevent accidents as traffic increases. Although no specific plans are in place yet, city representatives expressed openness to exploring options for striping or other measures to enhance safety.

As these improvements move forward, Provo City aims to create a more accessible and safer environment for all road users, reflecting a commitment to community feedback and proactive urban planning. The next steps will involve collaboration with local agencies to ensure these enhancements are effectively implemented.
