New traffic signals and a no parking zone will be implemented in Plano after approval from city council at a meeting Sept. 28.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s changed<\/p>\n

The city is adding new traffic signals at the following intersections:<\/p>\n

Coit Road and Stonewood Drive<\/p>\n

Custer Road and Kathryn Lane<\/p>\n

Bluebonnet Trail and Custer Road<\/p>\n

Spring Creek Parkway and Lookout Trail<\/p>\n

Plano Parkway and N Avenue<\/p>\n

Plano Parkway and Bradshaw Drive<\/p>\n

The traffic signals at SH121 and Spring Creek Parkway will also see modifications from this project, per city documents<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Engineering services for the new signals will be done by LJA Engineering, Inc.<\/a>, a national business that specializes in public works and land development projects among other areas. The business has also worked on other projects in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, per city documents. The city has allocated $468,599 for utility exploration, preliminary design, final design and construction-related engineering services.<\/p>\n

Plano Traffic Engineer Chad Ostrander said designs for the new lights are estimated to take a year with bids for construction to start around August 2027.<\/p>\n

Also of note<\/p>\n

The city is implementing a new no parking zone near Hendrick Middle School along Greenfield Drive. The school currently has no parking zones along Red River Drive west of the school, per city documents<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The new zone would prevent on-street parking from obstructing carpool operations at the school, according to city documents, which normally start from a driveway on Red River Drive and exit on Greenfield Drive. Plano ISD staff notified the city that parents would often park on this street during dismissal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New traffic signals and a no parking zone will be implemented in Plano after approval from city council…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":453504,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[155787,155785,155784,155786,155783,160,18650,162,161,155789,155788,24254],"class_list":["post-453503","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-plano","tag-chad-ostrander","tag-greenfield-drive","tag-hendrick-middle-school","tag-lja-engineering-inc","tag-no-parking-zone","tag-plano","tag-plano-city-council","tag-plano-headlines","tag-plano-news","tag-plano-no-parking-zone","tag-plano-traffic-signals","tag-traffic-signals"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/453503","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=453503"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/453503\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/453504"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=453503"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=453503"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=453503"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
