Morven Park Road Sidewalk project information from Fiscal Year 2025 Budget (Project No. 14301)Morven Park Rd Sidewalk Aerial

Project Start Date: Fall 2018

Project Description:  The project consists of constructing missing segments of sidewalk along the west side of Morven Park Road to provide continuous pedestrian access between West Market Street and Old Waterford Road. The project will improve drainage and provide a uniform roadway section by completing the curb and gutter on both sides of the street and extending the storm drain system. The waterline has been replaced between West Market Street and Old Waterford Road, as well as on Old Waterford Road, at the request of the Utilities Department.

The project was initiated approximately 15 years ago in response to resident concerns about pedestrian safety. Since that time, there has been significant public input into the extent of the improvements, including neighborhood meetings in 2008, 2014 and 2021. Questionnaires were sent to residents in 2008 and 2013. Input from the public was used in the decision-making process to determine the sidewalk location, the need for curb and gutter, and availability of on-street parking. Below are links to information from some of the public outreach activities.
