According to a news release from Richardson ISD, the new markings and school zone signage is expected to be in place around early August ahead of the start of school.
The overview
The changes to school zone boundaries are necessary in part because of Project RightSize, which included the consolidation of four elementary school campuses. Because of new school attendance boundaries, the city needed to place new school zone signage and paint crosswalks.
As part of the city’s infrastructure maintenance program, school district signage and crosswalks are part of an ongoing two-year update and replacement cycle, according to a staff presentation. Per the news release, the updated signage helps students walk and bike safely to campuses.
What’s next?
The signage replacement is expected to be finished Aug. 5, according to the school district’s news release. Students return to school Aug. 13 for Richardson ISD and Plano ISD.
