In conjunction with International Walk to School day, the City of Verona will conduct a transportation improvement pilot program on Whalen Road near the intersection of Military Ridge Drive from October 9 until October 12. This improvement will create a temporary curb extension into the road, which will create a shorter distance to cross Whalen Road. Currently, Whalen Road is approximately forty-two (42) feet wide and this would shrink the road to twenty-eight (28) feet wide at the crosswalk.
