District planning third campus entrance from old Hilton site to ease Mill Road traffic
Summary
Board members heard a permanent-improvement update saying the old Hilton Elementary entrance will be converted to an access drive to connect campus and relieve Mill Road congestion; planners hope to finish before the end of calendar 2025.
The board's permanent improvement and campus master plan committee reported April 16 that the district plans to convert the old Hilton Elementary School entrance into a new access drive that will connect to the main campus and provide a third entrance.
Committee members said the new access drive would come up the hill from the old Hilton site and connect into the existing campus road network. The committee's preliminary timeline aims to complete the work by the end of the 2025 calendar year; leaders clarified that target is a calendar-year goal rather than the school-year schedule.
The committee also reviewed draft budget elements and a list of other permanent-improvement needs, including routine maintenance, vehicle replacement and facility upgrades. Trustees and staff encouraged the public to view a special meeting recording posted on the district website for a detailed review of the master-plan materials and preliminary costings.
Why this matters: The new entrance is intended to reduce pre- and post-school traffic backups on Mill Road. Officials said the project is one of several long-term priorities and that preliminary numbers remain drafts subject to further review.
What's next: The district posted part of the planning presentation on the district website and will continue to refine cost estimates and phasing; interested residents were invited to view the earlier special meeting for full details.
