The Final Plan is Complete!

The Carriage Drive and Lauppe Lane Safe Schools Corridor Plan was adopted by City Council on December 10, 2020. The plan evaluates the Carriage Drive and Lauppe Lane corridor and on-site school circulation to identify appropriate, cost-effective measures to mitigate deficiencies. It is the result of a community based planning process to improve safety, comfort, and access for students, families, and community members walking, bicycling, rolling and driving along Carriage Dr and Lauppe Ln. The next step for this project is to secure grant funding for design and construction.
