Construction & School Safety Notice – Sam’s Boulevard Water Line Project

 

Kearns Improvement District is continuing construction of important water system improvements along Sam’s Boulevard near Kearns Jr. High School and West Kearns Elementary School. With school beginning and students returning to the area, we want to remind everyone that safety is our highest priority.

 

Construction activities may temporarily affect school crossings, sidewalks, traffic lanes, and pedestrian routes along Sam’s Boulevard. Crews are working to maintain safe access through the construction area and to restore school crossings as quickly as possible.

 

Please help us keep students, families, construction crews, and motorists safe:

·        Slow down and use extra caution when traveling through the construction zone.

·        Watch carefully for students and pedestrians, especially before and after school.

·        Follow construction signs, cones, barricades, flaggers, and temporary traffic controls.

·        Use designated school crossings and pedestrian routes and avoid entering active construction areas.

·        Allow a little extra travel time during school drop-off and pickup periods.

·        Please remind children to stay on designated walking routes and never cross through construction equipment or work areas.

 

These improvements include installation of a new 12-inch water main and additional fire hydrants along Sam’s Boulevard. The project will improve fire protection, water system reliability, and emergency response capabilities for Kearns Jr. High School, West Kearns Elementary and the surrounding community.

 

We understand that construction can create temporary inconvenience, particularly as the school year begins. Kearns Improvement District and our contractor are working to minimize disruptions and maintain safe access while completing these important improvements.

 

Thank you for your patience, cooperation, and extra attention while traveling through the area. Together, we can help make sure students get to and from school safely while we complete these improvements to our community’s water system.
