The project focused on the reconstruction of Paulding Road, extending from Fairfield Avenue to Noll Avenue. This project was designed to enhance safety, improve traffic flow, and revitalize the area.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Project highlights<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Lane Reduction and Reconfiguration: Paulding Road was redesigned with three lanes: one lane in each direction and a central bi-directional turn lane. This change streamlines traffic flow and facilitates safer turning movements.<\/li>\n<li>South Side Improvements: The south side of Paulding Road features new driveway approaches and a curb face walk, improving access and pedestrian pathways.<\/li>\n<li>North Side Enhancements: A new grass park strip and upgraded sidewalks have been added on the north side, along with reconfigured driveway approaches for better usability.<\/li>\n<li>Lighting, landscaping, and public art: Enhanced lighting illuminates the corridor, and a new monument was constructed at the southwest corner of Paulding Road and Fairfield Avenue to serve as a traffic-calming gateway. Additionally, a monument that doubles as a bench has been placed in front of Kettler Park. The project includes artwork on the median of Paulding Road, close to Fairfield Avenue, and landscaping for all the green spaces.<\/li>\n<li>ADA Access and Safety: The project integrates ADA access and pedestrian safety features throughout the corridor.<\/li>\n<li>Traffic Signal Upgrades: At the intersection of Paulding Road and South Calhoun Street, the traffic signal has been updated from a split-phase to a traditional signal with protected left turns, optimizing traffic flow despite reduced lanes.<\/li>\n<li>Sidewalk Addition: A new sidewalk was constructed on the west side of Fairfield Avenue, between the entrance into Woodhurst Condos and south to Candlelite Court, to better accommodate transit users. Future long-range plans include extending the sidewalk on Fairfield to the north, where it currently ends at Fairfax Avenue, and also to the south down to Lower Huntington Road.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s encouraging to see how much progress we\u2019re making with neighborhood-focused infrastructure upgrades,\u201d said Mayor Tucker. \u201cAs I visit with residents and business owners and walk in neighborhoods throughout Fort Wayne, a common theme is the importance of continuing to make investments in our streets and roads. The Paulding Road effort is a great example of how we worked together as a community to complete a project that meets current and future transportation needs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The project investment was $5.1 million. This year the Public Works Division is investing $37 million in neighborhood infrastructure improvements to enhance the local transportation system and improve the quality of life for residents. Since 2014, the City has invested more than $419 million in neighborhood infrastructure enhancements.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/engage.cityoffortwayne.org\/fairfieldandpaulding\" target=\"_blank\">Click here for more information<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/71709.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Mayor Tom Henry announces call for referendum vote on the gaming issue during a press conference on February 27, 2009.\"\n\t\t\tclass='thickbox' rel='d44268a1fc223563dde8ae6c29c06d47' data-image-id=\"199\" data-src=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/71709.jpg\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/thumbs\/thumbs_71709.jpg\" data-title=\"2009\/02\/27: Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry\" data-description=\"Mayor Tom Henry announces call for referendum vote on the gaming issue during a press conference on February 27, 2009.\">\n\t\t\t<img title=\"2009\/02\/27: Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"2009\/02\/27: Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-id=\"199\"\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/thumbs\/thumbs_71709.jpg\"\/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/71710.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Mayor Tom Henry shakes hands with Allen County Councilman Paul Moss after the press conference announcing his decision to seek a referendum vote on the gaming issue.
