LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) - UALR is asking for community feedback on its safety as it studies the campus.
Officials with the city, university, and the University District Partnership conducted the first walkabililty audit.
Dan Burden is the executive director of the Walkable and Livable Communities Institute from Washington and he's leading the walk.
"Buildings need to watch over the streets, it's not just about police. Is the built environment supporting people naturally to take walks and go out?" says Dan Burden.
He says the streets could be wider.
"One take out the center line; two put in edge lines. You can have bike lanes on this street," says Burden.
Denise Leeson-Provost works for the university.
"Fortunately, I don't have to walk too far but even where I park there could still be improvements," says Leeson-Provost.
She wants to see better maintenance, lighting, and parking because during last year's ice storm her co-worker fell and was injured.
Along Asher and University Avenues--Burden says traffic is just too fast.
"When you get out towards the university, the streets were built not to be friendly to people. They are ugly. The speeds are not right," says Burden.
