Prosper Town Council members approved a $350,805 order for seven pedestrian hybrid beacons and traffic signal equipment packages during a Sept. 24 meeting.
The gist
The beacons, which are traffic lights that alert drivers to pedestrians looking to cross the street, will be installed at:
- First Street and Copper Canyon Drive intersection
- First Street and Chaucer Drive intersection
- Gee Road and Lockwood Drive intersection
- Gee Road and Acacia Parkway
- Denton Way and Fishtrap Road
- Dallas Parkway and Frontier Parkway
The town also purchased an extra traffic controller cabinet and battery backup unit for town staff to keep in case of any accidents or for future projects.
What comes next?
It will take about six months for all of the equipment to be delivered, according to meeting documents.
