| Project Description: |
| This project will provide funding for repair of roads adjacent to schools at the discretion of the Public Works Department. Public Works will identify which roads are in the most needs of repair. |
Implementing Entities:
Public Works Department
Update:
$105,462 in funding was used to leverage a Safe Routes to School (SR2S) grant at Wardlaw Elementary that will enable Public Works to significantly expand its scope of work.
Wardlaw Elementary is particularly unsafe school/traffic area, with unsafe crosswalks, insufficient street parking/areas for loading and unloading, and 4 lanes of traffic at high speeds. The SR2S project, combined with the PB Project funding, will allow Public Works to completely repave the entire street while installing numerous safety devices and measures. The was completed in Fall 2016.
The balance in remaining funds ($159,538) will be used to repave Rainier Avenue and Olympic Avenue (VCUSD-owned roads adjacent to MIT Academy, Loma Vista Farm, and Loma Vista Elementary School) in Summer 2017.
