Traffic control was a major challenge as construction was being performed in multiple locations at once while still keeping the local traffic moving.

Parkview Safe Routes to School

The Parkview Safe Routes to School project included the installation of new sidewalk/ADA access throughout the surrounding neighborhoods of Parkview Elementary. A tear drop roundabout was also installed to improve traffic flow and safety for pedestrians during high-volume school foot traffic. An upgraded storm system and bike lanes were added to the surrounding areas.

The project posed major sequencing restraints due to being spread over multiple city blocks and neighborhoods. The side streets were difficult to navigate and all areas had to be coordinated with daily foot traffic from parents and students of Parkview Elementary.

Traffic control was a major challenge as construction was being performed in multiple locations at once while still keeping the local traffic moving. The roundabout sequencing was especially challenging as crews were unable to shut down the entire street and had to have one lane open at all times. Faber built the roundabout in half the time of the original schedule and finished the project on time even with multiple unforeseen changes due to existing conditions.
