Pedestrian Access Improvements

Residents across Tyler have shared a consistent need for safer, more connected ways to move through their neighborhoods. Whether walking to a bus stop, heading to the park, or traveling short distances, sidewalks and crossings play an important role in daily life.

This project focuses on improving pedestrian access at key locations across Tyler. The work is guided by community input and transportation planning efforts, helping create safer and more connected routes for people who walk, roll, or ride.

Construction is underway, and crews are ahead of schedule after completing several of the largest and most complex project sites. Several locations are complete, while others remain in progress.

Ongoing Projects

East Erwin Street at Hillside Park: This project includes sidewalk replacement, ADA-compliant ramps, and a new crosswalk with a rapid flashing beacon.

West Northwest Loop 323 east of Highway 69 North: A new sidewalk is being constructed to support access to a bus stop.

Upcoming Projects

East Ninth Street at South Roseland Boulevard: Construction will include a new crosswalk, ADA ramps, and sidewalk improvements to connect the transit stop to the existing sidewalk network in the area.

Highway 110 south near Aberdeen Drive: A new sidewalk will be installed to fill a missing segment along this corridor.

Shiloh Road at Atlanta Avenue: A new sidewalk will be added to connect to a transit stop.

Shiloh Road at Edinburgh Drive: A new sidewalk will be added to connect existing sidewalks in the area.

Fair Park Drive and Rose Park Drive: A sidewalk will be added from the southeast entrance of the Rose Garden west to Rose Park Drive and north on Rose Park Drive to the southwest entrance to the Rose Garden. A crossing will be added at Rose Park Drive and at the intersection of Rose Park Drive and Fair Park Drive.

Loop 323 from Donnybrook Avenue to Fry Avenue: A new sidewalk will be added on the north side of the road to complete sidewalk access along Loop 323 between Donnybrook Avenue and Fry Avenue.

Oak Creek Boulevard: A new pedestrian crossing will be added where Legacy Trail meets Oak Creek Boulevard.

South College Avenue and University Place: At the existing pedestrian crossing, new pedestrian ramps will be added, and the crossing will be updated.

Completed Projects

East Gentry Parkway north of Hillsboro Street: A new sidewalk was installed to fill existing gaps and replace deteriorated sections. This work also supports a Highway Safety Improvement Program project completed earlier this year.

West Northwest Loop 323 at Town Parc Apartments: A new sidewalk has been installed, and the bus stop has been relocated to improve safety and convenience.

West 32nd Street near the Glass Recreation Center: A new sidewalk has been constructed to support access to the bus stop at the Glass Recreation Center. A future project is expected to extend sidewalk access from the bus stop to Woldert Park.

North Bois D’Arc from West Cedar Street to West Queen Street: Existing sidewalks were removed and replaced with new sidewalks and driveway entrances built to current standards.

There is a total of 14 project sites. Each location strengthens connections to transit stops, parks, or community destinations, providing better pathways.
