Project improvements include the installation of a traffic signal at the southern entrance of LTHS, reconfiguration of internal roadways and drop-off and pick-up procedures within the LTHS campus, alignment of driveway entrances at Denning Park with the new traffic signal, installation of an east-west sidewalk through Denning Park, installation of enhanced crosswalk beacons, and enhanced school speed zone signs with flashing yellow beacons.
