We have all been wondering about the status of the bus stop because of the construction on Traverse Ridge Road. The start of school is just around the corner, and the section of TR Road with access to the bus stop has yet to be completed.
After conversations with Robert Markle, project engineer, and Dave Decker, Director of Public Works for Draper City, we have the following information to share.
The City has been in touch with Alpine School District Dep't of Transportation to try to resolve the issue. The plan is to allow bus access only into the parking lot on the Traverse Ridge side of the bus stop. Parents will need to use the Deer Ridge entrance or drop off the kids anywhere along the Village Green on Deer Ridge Road. Our Transportation Safety Commitee will look at logistics and come up with the most safe and efficient protocols to follow for the time that the bus stop isn't accessible through normal routes.
Robert Markle is coordinating with the enginnering company doing the work, so that they do any of the work that would require that section of TR Road to be shut off completely, on a Saturday, so that the bus service will not be disrupted.
The previously scheduled completion date of mid-September has been delayed for a couple of weeks, but they hope to complete any asphalt and repaving work before the snow flies...
