Submit Active Transportation Program (ATP) Grant Application for Construction Funding

ATP Grant Recipients Announced

Grant funding is required for construction. If the City is awarded an ATP grant, construction is expected to begin in late 2025 and take 2-3 years.

The Better Overland & Safer Fox Hills Project is for everyone. In developing proposed improvements, the City focused on the following areas to improve safety, quality of life, and mobility in our community.

Based on community feedback received thus far, we understand the importance of on-street parking to the community.

In March 2024, the City began a comprehensive parking study of all road segments included in the Better Overland and Safer Fox Hills Projects. Parking counts were conducted at 4 different times of day/night to assess when—and where—parking was in highest demand. The study is anticipated to be finalized in mid-April, but City staff anticipate that parking impacts in areas of high demand to be minimal. In areas where parking is underutilized, or not used at all, City staff are proposing multimodal enhancements that make better use of the public right-of-way, such as wider sidewalks, new street trees, and protected bike lanes.

Better Overland

The proposed project design will maintain two vehicular travel lanes in each direction. In some areas, dedicated turn lanes are proposed to be reduced or removed due to right-of-way constraints. City staff are performing traffic modeling and analyses to identify and evaluate mitigation efforts—such as re-timing traffic lights—that will promote the safe and orderly movement of traffic for everyone.

Safer Fox Hills

• Green Valley Circle: Due to excess roadway capacity and concerns regarding speeding and pedestrian safety, City staff are proposing to  reduce the number of vehicular lanes from two to one in each direction on Green Valley Cir between Bristol Pkwy and Buckingham Pkwy. These traffic calming efforts will also allow for the installation of bike lanes to encourage non-vehicular modes of transportation. The existing center two-way left turn lane on Green Valley Cir is proposed to remain.
• Bristol Parkway: Similar to Green Valley Circle, City staff have determined that excess vehicular capacity exists on Bristol Pkwy. City staff are proposing the removal of one or two vehicular lanes to calm traffic and implement new protected bike lanes. The exact lane configuration of the street is pending finalization.

Vehicular lane reductions are not proposed on any other street in the Safer Fox Hills portion of the project.
