West Prairie Creek Drive rehabilitation
Construction has begun on the West Prairie Creek Drive rehabilitation projects, according to a Sept. 2 release.
The project is in its first phase with workers replacing manhole covers and performing rehabilitation on sewer lines. The project will include improvements to street paving and underground utility and drainage systems. There will also be new curb extensions on Lookout Drive and extra parking enhancements on West Prairie Creek Drive.
The plan also calls for the enhancement of the intersection of West Prairie Creek and Lookout to improve safety for pedestrians. The crosswalks at Fall Creek and Arborcrest drives will also be improved, and a new crosswalk will be added at Ridgewood Drive.
During some project stages, the bridge at Prairie Creek Park may not be accessible for children who walk to Prairie Creek Elementary School. The city is asking residents to sign-up for the West Prairie Creek email list for updates.
