Report
Summary
The City of Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department and Cartwright School District will work together to install fencing in the granite area of the 55th Avenue Parkway. Cartwright School District will pay to install the fence, and the Parks and Recreation Department will be responsible for maintaining the fence.
The fencing will run from Glenrosa Avenue north to the existing sidewalk at approximately Turney Avenue, to control students' ability to cross the turf area of the 55th Avenue Parkway, except at the established crossing area. Currently the area creates a safety issue for the students, as parents are able to drop students off on the west side of the parkway and they are crossing at uncontrolled access points.
Contract Term
This Agreement will have an initial term of 10 years.
Financial Impact
The Cartwright School District will pay to install the fence; no City General Funds will be used.
Location
55th Avenue and Glenrosa Avenue
