Fountain Hills Unified School District, AZMcDowell Mountain Elementary School Bus Loop
Project Description: Fountain Hills Unified School District asked Parsons to design and construct a bus loop around McDowell Mountain Elementary to reduce the public traffic jam caused by busses/parent drop off in the mornings and pick-up in the afternoons. Design began in September 2006 and was completed in early January 2007. Since construction could not begin until school was out in May 2007, the design schedule was not expedited. The construction schedule, however, had to be completed over summer break (8-week schedule).
The overall project consisted of a new ¼ mile bus loop/road around the back of the school property tying into the city street on both ends. The scope included 2’ wide ribbon curb on each side of the 16’ wide bus lane, 10’ wide sidewalk along the bus drop off area, a heavy use, asphalt bus lane, approximately 500’ of new wrought iron fencing, commercial driveway entrances on both ends of the loop, masonry retaining walls, new landscaping throughout, and some unforeseen utility adjustments to accommodate the new construction.
The project was completed ahead of schedule and the cost was below the owner’s original budget.
