Promenade Boulevard - Rogers, AR
Explosive retail and commercial growth in southwest Rogers created new challenges for managing area traffic. The developers of the Pinnacle Promenade and the Mercy Medical Center retained the services of Crafton Tull Sparks to provide surveying, design, and construction management for new arterial and collector streets to serve the area. Promenade Boulevard was the name chosen for the perimeter street providing access to and from the planned I-540 interchange. Dual left and right turn lanes were designed for the major streets and commercial entrances. Decorative traffic signals and street lights were included throughout. The design incorporated a 5-foot wide sidewalk along each side and a storm sewer system designed to accommodate the runoff from a 10-year storm event. Installation and coordination of numerous utility companies was also necessary.
