Nile Garden Elementary School Driveway Project

The District proposes to construct a new driveway connecting the existing parking lot on the eastern portion of the campus to S Union Road. The new driveway will develop/disturb approximately, 1 acre of the annex site. No new parking spaces or buildings are proposed. The purpose of the driveway is to improve pick-up and drop-off circulation and reduce traffic congestion along E Nile Avenue during peak times by rerouting school-related traffic through the site. Primary access to the project site will be from S Union Road. A new paved driveway will be constructed to provide a direct connection between the parking lot and S Union Road. This driveway will be designed to optimize traffic flow by allowing vehicles to exit the campus parking lot to turn right (southbound) or left (northbound) onto S Union Road. The proposed project will not change the student enrollment capacity and will continue to serve students within Nile Garden ES’s existing enrollment boundary. Construction of the proposed improvements is scheduled to be implemented in summer fall 2025 and is anticipated to be completed by December 2025. All construction equipment and workers will be located within the boundaries of the project site and contractors will adhere to construction noise regulations to avoid disruption to campus operations. The proposed project will benefit the District, students, staff, and the general public by improving on-site circulation, alleviating traffic congestion on Nile Avenue, and helping students arrive on time.
