Due to lack of adequate defined parking areas and parent pick-up traffic patterns for Keystone Heights Elementary School, it has become increasingly more congested at student release time resulting in safety issues for our students.   This project will assist in correcting the identified issues. 

Inadequate parking and traffic lanes for the increasing number of parents choosing to pick up their children at Keystone Heights Elementary has resulted in individuals parking along the city right-of-way, curbside, on sidewalks and in open fields.  This has created excessive congestion on the roads leading to the school which has presented a very real safety issue for children walking home from school.

The construction of this parking lot and parent pickup area at the northwestern portion of the campus will provide additional parking and a controlled process for parents to pick up children at an area away from the primary pickup area in front of the Administration Building.  This will help alleviate the extreme daily congestion presently experienced at the school’s only parent pickup area.  An additional benefit will be to provide a parking area for junior high athletic events currently held at Keystone Heights Elementary gym.

Ensure effective management of the organization, operations and facilities to maximize the use of resources and promote a safe, efficient and effective learning environment for Clay County students.

Reject all bids.  Rebid at a later date.
