PSA: Pedestrian Island Installation at Crosswalk Lights at Topsail Rd and Glendarek Dr

The Town of Paradise advises that work will begin for the installation of the pedestrian island for the pedestrian activated crosswalk lights at Topsail Road and Glendarek Drive on August 19. This work is expected to take two weeks to complete with crews working daily from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. For the safety of pedestrians and work crews, the crosswalk will be closed during this work, and pedestrians are advised to use the crosswalks at Topsail Road and Sgt Donald Lucas Drive or Topsail Road and McNamara Drive until the repairs are completed. 

Traffic flow will be maintained for the morning and evening commute times, however, due to the scope of work intermittent traffic interruptions and slowdowns can be expected during the day. Drivers and pedestrians are asked to exercise caution in the area and to follow all signage and traffic control procedures.

The installation of the pedestrian island, along with upgrades to the crosswalk and pedestrian activated light signals, will enhance the safety of the crosswalk at Topsail Road and Glendarek Drive. The Town apologizes for any inconvenience this work may cause.
