Roundabout Construction - Timeline Extended
The Neighborhood Traffic Safety and Bicycle Boulevard Project is constructing a new roundabout at East Meadow Drive and Ross Road to improve the safety of student cyclists and help moderate speeds along the route. The roundabout is scheduled for completion by early February. We do not foresee any street closures at the moment. If this does occur, flaggers will direct student cyclists, pedestrians, and vehicular traffic during construction. Construction work hours are between 9:00 am - 4:00 pm, Monday-Friday. There should be no obstructions to the road outside of these work hours. If you see anything that may be a hazard, like a vehicle blocking a bicycle lane, please call the PAPD non-emergency line at (650) 329-2406. Please direct questions to Sarah Ratliff, Neighborhood Traffic Safety Bicycle Boulevard Community Relations Manager, (669) 225-1617. More information about the Neighborhood Traffic Safety & Bicycle Boulevard project, including FAQs, are available here.
