A new paving and water improvement project in downtown Plano has passed its next step after a city council meeting Sept. 28.<\/p>\n

Plano City Council approved an ordinance of necessity and easements needed for the project along G Avenue at the meeting.<\/p>\n

The gist<\/p>\n

The city is seeking to acquire land to construct a new sidewalk along G Avenue between 14th street and 15th street. City real estate manager Matt Yager said the new land will be used to create a 10-foot-wide hike and bike trail.<\/p>\n

An ordinance of necessity allows the city to take private property for public use, sometimes through eminent domain<\/a>, per city documents<\/a>. The land is located in front of A Better Answer Call Centers<\/a> and land planned for townhomes.<\/p>\n

The city also approved a separate strip along the street to be considered a public right-of-way. Yager said this section is part of city property acquired in Nov. 2023 and is currently used for equipment storage by the Plano Police Department.<\/p>\n

The background<\/p>\n

Plano City Council approved $374,800 to go toward engineering services for the G Avenue paving and water improvement project at a meeting in June 2024, per city documents. Construction is planned to start before the end of 2026, per previous<\/a> reporting.<\/p>\n

Other improvements for the project include waterline replacements, on-street parking and new traffic signals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A new paving and water improvement project in downtown Plano has passed its next step after a city…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":451376,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[155224,713,28738,131637,155225,160,18650,162,161,1934,62751],"class_list":["post-451375","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-plano","tag-a-better-answer-call-centers","tag-downtown-plano","tag-eminent-domain","tag-g-avenue","tag-new-construction-projects-plano","tag-plano","tag-plano-city-council","tag-plano-headlines","tag-plano-news","tag-plano-police-department","tag-sidewalk"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/451375","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=451375"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/451375\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/451376"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=451375"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=451375"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=451375"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
