Roundabout Construction
The Neighborhood Traffic Safety and Bicycle Boulevard Project is preparing to install a new roundabout at East Meadow Drive and Ross Road beginning this week
. Minor work on the roundabout will begin on the 18th
, while all major work will begin once the school holiday break begins. The work hours of this project are Monday-Friday, 9:00 am - 4:00 pm. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, most of the work on the roundabout should be completed when school begins again in January. It is important that school staff, parents, and students review the educational materials on how to use the new infrastructure, which you can find here
.
Also, Stanford University recently installed a roundabout and put together a website that includes more information, which may be beneficial to review and can be found here
.
During construction, access by all road users will be maintained to the extent possible. It is very important that everyone be patient and extra careful in these construction zones and obey flaggers when present. We thank you for your patience and we appreciate your cooperation during the construction process. For any questions, comments, or concerns, please contact the Community Relations Manager for the project, Sarah Ratliff (669-225-1617)
. Additional information is available on the project website.
