This report includes a number of recommendations to improve walkability along the North Beverwyck Road business district in the Lake Hiawatha neighborhood of the Township of Parsippany-Troy Hills. Recommendations were informed by a Walkable Community Workshop, a collaborative effort with municipal employees and community stakeholders.
The most significant obstacles to walkability in the study area are the long distances between crosswalks, narrow sidewalks, and a lack of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance. This report recommends the installation of temporary mid-block crosswalks, sidewalk extensions and/or parklets to provide additional locations for a safe crossing, slow vehicle speeds, and increase safety.
