ISLAND WOODS DRIVE SAFETY & MAINTENANCE

Island Wood Drive traffic Update 10/1/2024

Darlene, our Safety & Road Maintenance Officer met with Brent Brocksome (President of River’s End HOA), Renee Robinette, Jon Wasson from ACHD and myself to begin the first stage of our plan to address safety and maintenance issues on Island Wood Drive.

We have scheduled an 8-day speed study to commence this month.   In addition, Darlene and I will meet with the Maintenance

Project Manager at ACHD to discuss our options for removal of the pavers along Island Wood Drive and chip sealing of all the roads within our community sometime in the spring.

Once that  phase of the project is completed, ACHD will install road calming devices and trim the trees along Island Woods Drive that are overhanging the road.  This project has been a long time coming, but it will be encouraging to see progress made.  Of course, we will all experience some degree of inconvenience during the project, however, we do believe that the end result will be a much safer and quieter roadway that will benefit all residents in Island Woods and our neighboring communities. 

9/27/2024   Island Wood Drive Traffic
Please plan to attend this important TOWN HALL MEETING with  Mayor Pike and our fire chief  to discuss the impact the new Williamson subdivision will have on Island Wood Drive and the emergency evacuation plan that will be put in place.  
The meeting is being held in response to concerns about the increased traffic on Island Wood Drive and the need for solutions to ingress and egress problems  associated with the proposed Williamson expansion project.  City officials will advise Island Woods and our neighboring communities on the emergency plan to be put in place to ensure the public safety of our residents.

We are  pleased to have a new Board Office, Darlene Travis, who will be coordinating our work on road safety issues and the maintenance of our roads.  We will work with ACHD to schedule a number of community meetings to better understand our options, especially in regard to "road calming devices" and the repair and/or elimination of the pavers along Island Woods Drive. 

MEETING TO BE HELD AT EAGLE CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS ON TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17TH AT 6:OO PM  (660 E CIVIC LANE)
