Neighborhood Advisory

Construction
To enhance pedestrian accessibility and safety, the City of Rockville will make traffic signal modifications to include Accessible Pedestrian Signals (APS) and the installation of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant sidewalk ramps at the intersection of Wootton Parkway and Hurley Avenue.

Work is scheduled to begin the week of April 25, 2011 and last several weeks, weather permitting, The City's contractors will be removing the existing pavement and installing pushbutton station foundations and ADA compliant sidewalk ramps. The contractors will work to minimize construction disturbances and complete the work in a timely manner. Your cooperation and patience is appreciated.    

Project Background
Accessible Pedestrian Signals are devices used to communicate information about pedestrian traffic signal intervals in non-visual formats such as audible tones, verbal messages and vibrating surfaces.  

The project first appeared in the FY10 CIP, and is funded by speed camera revenues. This intersection is part of a larger construction contract that includes 11 intersections, with a total construction value of approximately $680,000.
