City Council approved the funding for the project at its May 23 meeting. Construction will involve the repair of 450,000 square feet of street pavement and 45,000 square feet of sidewalk. In addition, 136 rampways along the sidewalk will be repaired to maintain compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, city documents stated. The project will take place along the entirety of Plano Parkway from US 75 to the eastern city limits.
City planning documents stated the project is needed to avoid increased maintenance and replacement costs in the future. City planners also stated that without the repairs, the walkways could be in violation of the disabilities act and could leave some facilities in an unsafe condition.
The project is being funded by the Street Improvement Community Investment Program fund. The program is meant to fund city infrastructure improvement projects.
