The traffic signals will be located at the intersections of East New Hope Drive and Arrow Point Drive, and Cottonwood Creek Trail and Medical Parkway.
What’s happening
At a Feb. 27 meeting, Cedar Park City Council approved $67,020 in funding to design the two signals. Funding for the project comes from the city’s $86.6 million transportation bond that was approved by voters in 2022, according to city information.
Design work for the signals is anticipated to conclude this summer, followed by around a year of construction, said Daniel Sousa, the city’s community affairs assistant director. The signals are expected to be complete by the fall of 2026, Sousa said.
Why it matters
The new traffic signals are intended to bring safety and operational improvements to the area, city documents state.
Both intersections met the Texas Department of Transportation's criteria for needing traffic control signals. The state department’s manual evaluates intersections on the number of vehicles and pedestrians traveling through the area at a given time, according to TxDOT documents.
