This project was part of the City
of Clearwater’s on-going traffic calming efforts, serving to reduce speeding
and deter cut-through traffic in residential neighborhoods. Located in southern
portion of Clearwater, the Hillcrest-Brookhill improvements included construction
of intersection roundabouts, oval medians at neighborhood entrances as well as narrow
medians and curb bulb-outs in midblock locations totaling 27 separate works
areas throughout the neighborhood.
The project also included the upgrading of
the existing storm drainage system to alleviate flooding issues. Project elements included maintenance of
traffic, clearing, earthwork, replacement & installation of new storm
drainage ranging in size from 15” to 42” in diameter, utility
relocations/offsets to accommodate the new storm drainage, curb and gutter,
sidewalks, stabilization, base, asphalt paving, concrete brick pavers, signing
and pavement marking, decorative stamped asphalt, lighting, irrigation,
landscaping and sod. The project required extensive coordination and phasing to
maintain residential traffic as well as existing drainage throughout the
project. All of the work was completed
while maintaining the traffic flow on the existing roads utilizing multiple detours
and construction phases.
