Over this summer, IQC did a walkability project in Wynnewood, OK. While I did not personally attend. However, I was able to work on part of the report using digital resources and photographs that my colleagues took. One of the key concerns in Wynnewood was an unofficial passageway that existed between the high school and the middle school. There was no safe way for students to cross the street so they would run across in breaks in traffic and walk through this alley where the grass has been trampled and now it is just dirt. This passage also bothered the residents of the four houses on either side of it because they felt that kids were walking through or too close to their property. IQC proposed making this alley into an official path. A crosswalk and curb extensions would be added for the kids to cross safely. The path would be "paved" with ADA gravel, decomposed granite, or concrete. Some pillars and a sign would create a sense of place and purpose to this new walkway.
Our other focus was the downtown area. It was anchored by a library, a restaurant, a restored retail shop, and most importantly, the historic Eskridge Hotel. The road around this area was paved with original brick that wasn't in great condition and where there were sidewalks, they were in need of repair. IQC recommended revitalizing the sidewalks and road on Robert S. Kerr Boulevard and adding sidewalks in key pedestrian areas to create walkable paths connecting downtown to the public schools. The addition of historic marker signs, such as the one by the hotel shown below, would add interest and valuable information to the town. Additional signage around town will be used to create a walking path that includes a greenbelt nearby to promote healthy activities.
