Finchley-Purser/Shamrock Hills (formerly Shannon Park) Neighborhood Improvement Project
|
A 2010 Neighborhood Improvement Bond Project.
In November 2006, voters approved $25,000,000 for neighborhood improvement projects including $1,700,000 for planning, design, r/w acquisition, utility relocation and construction for the Finchley-Purser/Shamrock Hills neighborhood.
This project will provide infrastructure improvements that may include:
- Roadway and pedestrian improvements such as curb and gutter, pedestrian refuge islands, bulb outs, improvements to signalized crossings, construction of planted medians, new marked pedestrian crosswalks, pedestrian signals and roadway accommodations for bicycles.
- New curb alignment to accommodate vehicles, transit, bicycles, and pedestrians.
- Coordination with storm drainage improvement projects and water and sewer line replacement projects.
Objectives:
- Maintain, stabilize and revitalize the neighborhood through comprehensive infrastructure improvements
- Strengthen the neighborhood and surrounding community

Finchley-Purser/Shamrock Hills
This project will make infrastructure improvements such as curb and gutter, sidewalk, and storm drainage. This project is bounded by Eastway Drive, Shamrock Drive, RR Tracks, and Tipperary Place.
What's happened? The first public meeting was held January 8 at Eastway Drive Church of God, 1131 Eastway Drive. Public meeting comments have been compiled and are ready to be presented at the second public meeting.
A second public meeting was held May 14, where residents were given the opportunity to chose a preferred construction option.
A third, drop-in, public meeting was held July 16, 2009 where the Project Team presented the final construction plan and receive comments. See Final Construction Plan for information.
What's next? The survey crews will be performing survey work in your neighborhood for the next two months as we prepare to enter the Design Phase (1year). The Design Phase is scheduled to be complete November 2010.
Get involved in your neighborhood by attending monthly meetings held the last Tuesday of each month. Meetings start at 6pm at the Faith Soldiers Word Ministry, 857 Eastway Drive at the RR tracks.
