\"Back<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to believe, but summer is almost over. Students of all ages are heading back to school this week, and more people will need to pass our construction areas on Highway 7 and Davis Drive. With this in mind, we\u2019ve taken every safety measure we can think of to mark and fence our construction zones for everyone\u2019s safety.<\/p>\n

Street safety is an especially appropriate topic as students return to school, since elementary school taught most of us how to travel on roads safely as pedestrians or bicyclists, and Drivers\u2019 Ed taught us the rules of the road. We hope students, and parents driving students, keep in mind everything they\u2019ve learned about safety as they get back into the routine of commuting to and from school.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve installed temporary sidewalks to keep pedestrians away from construction, and we can\u2019t emphasize enough how important it is to obey posted signs and use the temporary sidewalks. At some locations, we\u2019re moving YRT and Viva passengers away from bus stops located near construction by installing new temporary stops. If you ride YRT or Viva along Highway 7 or Davis Drive, please keep an eye out for signs explaining how to get to a temporary bus stop, and remember never take a shortcut through a construction zone.<\/p>\n

With people back from holidays and in school, increased traffic volume can make it take longer to drive places. So with this added to construction, it\u2019s even more important to plan your route carefully, remembering that even though all lanes are generally open near work zones, you still may experience delays from time to time. We\u2019ve installed electronic message signs on Highway 7 to note any traffic delays or unusual congestion ahead, and we chose their locations to give you enough time to choose your route.<\/p>\n

The best way to find out about upcoming work or potential delays is to sign up for our email updates<\/a>. We know back-to-school is a time for getting back into routines and starting some new ones, so we thank everyone for making the little adjustments needed to accommodate vivaNext rapidway construction in your school commute.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
