Pedestrian and Bike Study
View UL Lafayette's Pedestrian and Bike Study Report here: Pedestrian and Bike Study ( Fall 2022 - Spring 2023 )
Introduction
Why?
The Office of Sustainability conducted the Pedestrain and Bike study to measure the volume and direction of pedestrian traffic of the Johnston Street intersections to evaluate efficiency and safety of students as the University progresses to the next stage of the Master Plan, to include the University of Louisiana at Lafayette's Health Sciences campus expansion across Johnston Street. Concerns of safety and the quality of life of students, faculty, staff, and community members sparked the need to place a critical eye on Johnston Street as it intersects with the University.
In addition to the Pedestrain and Bike study, the Office of Sustainability partnered with Lafayette Consolidated Government(LCG) to hold the Bicycle and Pedestrian Workshop and deploy the Bicycle Lafayette Survey to the University. The Bicycle and Pedestrian Workshop was held in the 2023 spring semester to gather input from student, faculty, and staff about non-motorized connectivity. The Bicycle Lafayette Survey was also conducted during the spring semester of 2023 to gather input from students, faculty, and staff to provide LCG with feedback to improve Lafayette's existing and planned bike and pedestrian network.
