Pedestrian Controlled Crosswalk Safety Project

The Pedestrian Controlled Crosswalk Safety Project aims to enhance the pedestrian and road safety in our community. The project consists of upgrading one existing pedestrian crosswalk located at Sperry Avenue and 9th Street and installing two new pedestrian crosswalks at Ward Avenue and Las Palmas Avenue/Mackilhaffy Drive, and Hartley Street and Somerset Way. The Intersection of Sperry Avenue and 9th Street will be updated with a new High Intensity Activated Crosswalk (HAWK) Signal System, pedestrian ramps, sidewalk, and pavement striping/marking. The intersection of Ward Avenue and Las Palmas Avenue/Mackilhaffy Drive will be updated by installing a crosswalk with Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) System on Sperry Avenue, painted crosswalks on Las Palmas Avenue and Mackilhaffy Drive, pedestrian ramps, sidewalks, and pavement striping/marking. The intersection of Hartley Street and Somerset Way will be updated by installing a three-way stop, new crosswalk across Hartley Street, streetlight, pedestrian ramp, and pavement striping/marking.  

The Pedestrian Controlled Crosswalk Safety Project was awarded to Zara Construction, Inc. on August 20, 2024. Construction is estimated to begin September 2024. This project will require certain roads to be closed throughout the duration of the project. Notices will be provided five (5) business days in advance to those who will be affected by the road closures. The City understands that construction may interfere with the community’s daily activities and will do its best to minimize disruptions. 

Road closures and project updates will be posted on the City’s website. For more information, contact the Engineering Department at (209) 895-8033.
