M-000247 - Nottingham Drainage and Paving
Two public engagement meetings have been held to discuss this project. Over 700 comments were submitted to PWE. With regard to the left turn lanes, PWE is considering various options for limiting additional turn lanes. A comprehensive traffic study of the area is ongoing, including an in-depth review of left turn movements along this stretch of Kirkwood. PWE officials state that once the study results are available, they will issue a project information update with additional information. PWE staff is also reviewing feasible options to minimize encroachment into the medians and are awaiting more detailed traffic and tree studies. Studies are also ongoing to evaluate neighborhood recommendations regarding the proposed bike lanes. For additional information, please visit the District G homepage (
