City staff updated the City Council Monday on the new proposed design/project scope for the West Prairie Creek Drive Project, a 2015 Bond-funded project that will improve West Prairie Creek Drive between Campbell Road and Collins Boulevard. The refinements were made after gathering initial public input from November 2020-January 2021, with additional public input this year in July and October.
Highlights of the new project scope include:
- No widening of West Prairie Creek Drive
- Intersection enhancements at West Prairie Creek Drive/Lookout Drive
- New parallel parking spaces and enhanced signage along the south side of Lookout Drive near Prairie Creek Park
- A new crosswalk at Ridgewood Drive
- Enhanced cross walks at Fall Creek Drive and Arborcrest Drive
- Enhanced parking signage along West Prairie Creek Drive; parking restrictions at select locations for safety
- Water line and sewer improvements
After receiving City Council feedback, design work will continue (it is currently 50 percent complete) with an estimated construction start date of summer 2022.
