GISD will partner with the city of Georgetown and the Texas Department of Transportation to install the traffic signal, district documents show, to allow school buses to make safer left turns.
The school district approved an agreement for the design with DKS associates as part of its consent agenda March 25.
The details
As part of an agreement for the design of the project, GISD will contribute $72,500. It will remedy issues with visibility looking westward and the speed limit on this section of the highway, a combination that district documents state are unsafe for left turns for school buses.
The signal is described as a benefit to students, staff and parents at San Gabriel Elementary School and Benold Middle School, as their attendance zones include this intersection.
