Northwest 18th Street Reconstruction
Ankeny, IA
With increase in traffic volumes and new development expected along the corridor, McClure was hired by the City of Ankeny to perform an in-depth traffic study analyzing AM, PM, and PM Peak School traffic, review access management and intersection configurations, roundabout analysis, and multi-modal review.
McClure utilized the study to design the reconstruction of the over half-mile corridor and adjacent side roads. In addition to the roadway reconstruction, McClure designed new storm sewer that utilized the existing storm sewer to reduce costs, adjusted water main to avoid conflicts, designed sidewalks and a shared use path, two new traffic signals with pedestrian push buttons, new fiber optics, lighting design, park sign foundation, right-of-way and easement acquisitions, and detailed staging plans to maintain access to properties and minimizing roadway closures timelines to accommodate school traffic. Additionally, McClure reviewed and worked together on nine utility relocation plans and multiple development entities, Ankeny Public Schools, and Ankeny Parks and Recreation to ensure a smooth construction season.
