Pedestrian & School Children Safety on Magarity Road - Status Update

Two positive updates –

1. We will get a walk signal on all four sides at the intersection of Magarity and Anderson Road. Please refer to the email below.
2. Regarding the entrance of K&R and its overlap with the pedestrian crossing – Since the school construction is expected to begin in a month, the K&R will be relocated to newly constructed upper parking lot on the other side of the school. Once the construction is complete the K&R will be moved back to the left rear of the building and a crosswalk will be put in.

We are working with VDOT on the main issue of a school crossing signal. Our supervisor John Foust is helping us.

Still gathering status updates on other items.

Mr. Gupta,

Concerning the questions from your phone message, we are developing a project with the goal of installing pedestrian signals on all approaches at the intersection of Magarity Road and Anderson Road. If no problems are encountered, implementation will likely be 4 - 6 months away, depending on scheduling and funding constraints. In answer to your second question, I am not aware of any proposed changes to the pavement markings on Magarity Road in front of the school.

Please contact me if you should have further questions.

Sincerely,

Don Moyer
