Several Allen streets and alleyways are slated to receive improvements this year.
Allen City Council approved a $4.87 million contract with Jim Bowman Construction for its 2026 Street and Alley Rehabilitation project at a Feb. 24 meeting.
The details
Included in the citywide project for this fiscal year is approximately 4,138 square yards of alley pavement repair and over 27,000 square yards of roadway pavement repair, according to city documents.
“That’s more than just a sizable construction contract award,” Director of Engineering Chris Flanigan said. “It represents what I would characterize as responsible and measured investment in our most expensive asset in the community.”
How we got here
For the past several fiscal years, Allen has invested millions in street and alley improvements, according to city documents.
What’s next
Construction on the project is expected to begin in March and wrap up in February 2027, Flanigan said.
