Description:
Kilpatrick Elementary opened in 2002. The front driveway to the campus was built per the standard at the time, single lane of traffic coming off of Cinco Ranch Blvd. This project would provide for two lanes of traffic to exist from Cinco Ranch Blvd and travel to the front of the campus as do our current prototype elementary campuses.

Background/Justification:
Kilpatrick was one of the earlier renditions of our elementary prototype. It was noted that providing for two lanes of traffic to travel to the front of the school, it allows visitors to park in front of the school during peak travel times (i.e., dismissal) when parents are lined up coming to pick up students.
The addition of this drive would also provide access for emergency vehicles approaching the front of the campus. There has been a situation at this campus in which an ambulance could not access the front office because of parent traffic.
New Stacking Plan for 2011-12
Due to the widening of the driveway and the placement of a new traffic signal at the intersection of Cinco Ranch Boulevard and Gaston Road, student drop-off and pick-up stacking will change for the next school year. Vehicles will no longer be able to stack along Cinco Ranch Boulevard. The new stacking line will occur up Gaston Raod along the Northeast side of the school.
