Connectivity

KNOWLEDGE PARK WILL BE A SUCCESS IF:

The major activity centers of Knowledge Park are linked together by a seamless web of pedestrian, bicycle, transit, and automobile connections.

​

ACTION ITEMS

SAFE, SEAMLESS connections are provided to bring residents and visitors to – and move them through - the Knowledge Park area.

This can be accomplished by focusing in 4 areas:

PRIME Connection

CLEAR Connection

MOVING Connection

BRIGHT Connection

PRIME CONNECTION

Complete the Pedestrian Overpass at Dave Lyle Blvd – this is vital to connecting Winthrop and University Center to Downtown and Fountain Park in a safe and inviting way.

​

CLEAR CONNECTION

Install wayfinding signage to include an app, maps and signs showing visitors and residents how to navigate KP.  Parking areas, walking and biking paths and transit routes should be highlighted.

​

MOVING CONNECTION

Support and promote the transit system as a way to connect Rock Hill residents to Knowledge Park – as well as a viable transportation option for tourists.

​

BRIGHT CONNECTION

Construct separate bicycle and walking pathways where possible. 

Connect existing pathways in surrounding neighborhoods into KP pathway system. 

Use lighting and pavement marking to clearly indicate pathways.
