To help provide a temporary walking path on the north side of Hickory Creek Road (across from McNair Elementary), City staff have worked with the contractor to place gravel on the existing footpath for pedestrians to use. The gravel has been placed to produce a more weather resistant walking surface for the pedestrians, particularly the students at McNair Elementary, to use as they walk between Montecito Drive and the existing concrete sidewalk west of Waterside Place. Pedestrians are asked to use this route rather than walk in the street to avoid construction activities.
Pedestrians are reminded to be aware of nearby construction equipment and other areas that are fenced off for safety.

City staff has reviewed several safety options and are recommending the installation of temporary concrete barriers along the edge of the existing curb adjacent to the school playground. These barriers will improve safety and help in deflecting vehicles that may inadvertently veer off the road towards the school playground. Staff has requested cost estimates for the barriers and is currently waiting for the contractor to provide them. Staff plans on installing the barriers as soon as possible and will be communicating this plan with Denton ISD officials so that information can be communicated to parents.
In the long term, as the construction comes to a completion and the road is fully widened, staff will work to design a permanent solution and implement it as a component of the widening project. Staff will continually work with DISD staff to ensure they are fully apprised of these activities.
