The City Manager's office is asking the Public Works department to begin an engineering review of the Kavanaugh-McKinley-Pine Valley and Kingwood-Skywood-Pine Valley intersections.  This is the first step toward determining what improvements will best ensure safe vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle travel.  As the process moves forward, the Parks and Recreation department will help determine the appearance of the improvements.

Keep watching this space for updates on the projects.

The Heights Neighborhood Association and the Kingwood Neighborhood Association have joined forces to request that the city move quickly to study the Kavanaugh-McKinley-Pine Valley and Kingwood-Skywood-Pine Valley intersections to determine if they could be made less confusing and could be improved regarding appearance, safe traffic flow, safe roadway entry from homes, and safe accommodation of pedestrians/bicyclists.

The letter to the Mayor appears below.

The traffic island beautification project for the McKinley-Kavanaugh-Pine Valley intersection was discussed in depth at the Kingwood Neighborhood meeting on April 11. The project received a great deal of support. Residents also expressed their desire that the basic infrastructure of the intersection be improved before efforts at improving its appearance were begun.  Residents also expressed their desire that the Kingwood-Skywood-Pine Valley intersection receive similar attention.

Watch for an announcement on these intersections very soon.

Our earlier poll found great support for beautifying traffic islands in the Kingwood neighborhood. Our next step is to get the names and contact information of residents who would like to participate in the project.

Your responses will be sent to KNA officers who will contact you as the project moves forward. Thanks!
