Improvements coming to Parkfield Drive

Construction crews are preparing to begin work on Parkfield Drive in the second of three phases of work aimed at improving safety and mobility on the street and making pedestrians and motorists alike a whole lot happier. The planned improvements, which will be between Payton Gin Road and Mearns Meadow Boulevard, include “shortening the crossing distance for people walking or rolling by installing new curb extensions, increasing connectivity by fixing sidewalk gaps and increasing safety by constructing a protected intersection at Parkfield Drive and Payton Gin Road.” The project is expected to be completed by spring 2022. Future improvements include bikeway and pedestrian crossing improvements from Rundberg Lane to Mearns Meadow Boulevard. Check out the project page for more details.
