The city of Leander is preparing to make several intersection improvements near campuses that will increase safety and reduce congestion.
City Engineer Emily Truman said the cause of backed up intersections is often school-related and can occur when multiple schools are located in close proximity.
One intersection improvement in the planning process is at Collaborative Way and Bagdad Road, an intersection city officials said is “dangerous” and a site of numerous car accidents.
The plan is to add a left turn lane onto Collaborative Way from southbound Bagdad Road and right-turn lane from northbound Bagdad Road onto Collaborative Way.
