Patterson Road at Matchett Park

Project Overview

The Community Recreation Center (CRC) is the first phase of development for the approximately 205-acre Matchett Park site located on the north side of Patterson Road. At full build-out, the regional park is planned to include up to six access points connecting to the City’s street network. Access from 28 ¼ Road, Hawthorne Avenue, and Patterson Road will be available before the planned opening of the CRC in late 2026. The Patterson Road access to Matchett Park will be aligned with (but not connected to) 28 ½ Road and will be named Matchett Parkway north of Patterson Road.

The proposed intersection improvements (including a raised median, turn lanes, a signalized pedestrian crossing, bus pull-outs, and sidewalk enhancements) will implement access restrictions at Matchett Parkway (north side of Patterson Road) and at Grand Cascade Way (south side of Patterson Road) consistent with the recommendations of the Patterson Road Access Management Plan adopted by Resolution No. 55-21 on July 21, 2021. Access restrictions at Grand Cascade Way will restrict left turns directly on/off of Patterson Road. Left turns from the Grand Cascade neighborhood will be directed to 28 1/4 Road or Legends Way to improve safety. 

Construction Schedule: 
The intersection construction will begin in March 2026 and will be completed by August 2026.

A Traffic Impact Study was completed for the CRC Project to understand how it will affect nearby roads and traffic. The study found that a new westbound right-turn lane is needed at Patterson Road and Matchett Parkway to improve traffic flow and safety. The current CRC construction project already includes a 20-foot-wide roadway and a sidewalk along the east side of Matchett Parkway between the CRC and Patterson Road. As Matchett Parkway and Matchett Park continue to expand in the future, additional intersection improvements will be needed.
