MILTON- IMPROVEMENTS AT GLOVER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN THE VICINITY OF CANTON AVENUE, BROOKS ROAD AND VOSES LANE (SRTS)

Planned improvements include the construction of a sidewalk with granite curbing and tree wells within a wider paved apron along the westerly side of the Turner Pond parking lot between Brook Road and the pedestrian bridge to the school to eliminate the need for the existing portable concrete barriers and provide standard separation between pedestrians and vehicles accessing the parking lot. The sidewalk along the west side of Canton Avenue from Elm Lawn Street to Brook Road will be reconstructed to a consistent 5’ width with vertical granite curb. The dense trees on the northeast corner of the intersection will be removed to improve sightlines. Voses Lane between Canton Avenue and Brook Road will be converted to a one-way north-westbound flow. Sidewalks will also be constructed along the southerly side of Voses Lane and on both sides of Brook Road. The existing crosswalk on Brook Road just east of the Turner Pond parking area will be removed and relocated to a mid-block location between Voses Lane and Canton Avenue with new pedestrian flasher assemblies. An ornamental fence in the median on Brook Road between the raised crosswalk and Canton Avenue will be installed to channelize pedestrians toward the relocated crosswalk. These improvements will include installation of ADA-compliant wheelchair ramp, installation of MUTCDcompliant signs and pavement markings, and minor drainage improvements.
