Morris Street Complete Street Plan
The Morris Street Complete Street Plan proposes:
• Continuous pedestrian and bicycle connections along Morris Street between the future Eagle Creek and
White River Greenways
Improved sidewalks, street trees, medians and crosswalks at key intersections;
Curb bump-outs and planters to define parking zones and reduce crosswalk width;
Alternative stormwater management practices;
GOALS
Morris Street Complete Street Plan
The Morris Street Complete Street Plan proposes:
Enhanced transit stops;
Bicycle connection to the White River Greenway trailhead to be constructed in 2011 at I-70 and
Kentucky Avenue;
Rerouting truck traffic and the reallocation of travel lanes to allow bicycle and pedestrian facilities within existing right-of-way; and
Purchase of right-of-way (or donation) from major institutions such as IPL to incorporate pedestrian
accommodations and minimize the removal or relocation of major utility poles
GOALS
