Eagle
Pass Independent School District will begin preparation to expand Eagle Pass
High School’s Band Hall. This preparation will begin by Monday, September
9, 2019. This will call for part of the campus to not be able to be utilized to
its’ full potential.
The affected area is as follows:
- EPHS rear (west side) horseshoe student drop off
zone and parking area will not be able to used due to part of the
horseshoe becoming a part of the construction staging area for materials
and machinery.
- Student drop off zone will no longer be accessible
during the construction phase.
This construction will take
approximately over fifteen months to complete. We have attached a
map/plan that contains the new route in which traffic is expected to be
directed in the mornings and afternoons beginning on Monday, September 9,
2019.
Traffic control will commence
approximately at 7:30 a.m. and run until 8:45 a.m. It will then resume in the
afternoon from 3:45 p.m. until 4:30 p.m.
The attached map/plan shows the
traffic flow heading east on Second Street, turning south on Kelso Street
towards Antonio M. Garcia Street. The student drop off zone will now be
that of Kelso Street. This is the portion of street between EPHS campus and the
Public Swimming Pool.
Police Officers will be placed at
locations near the school at street intersections. They will be there to
conduct traffic control duties and for student safety. We are asking for
cooperation from the parents, staff, and students as we make this new
transition.
It will always remain the district’s
number priority to ensure student and staff safety.
