Plano to raise Chisholm Trail under Spring Creek Parkway to reduce flood closures
Summary
A city news bulletin said crews will elevate the Chisholm Trail beneath Spring Creek Parkway to lift the trail above the floodplain, reducing storm-related closures and aiming for completion by Thanksgiving.
Steve Stoler, host of Plano City News, said crews will raise the Chisholm Trail where it passes under Spring Creek Parkway to lift the path above the areaf s floodplain.
"By elevating it, the trail can still be used more frequently during and after those rains," Stoler said. The broadcast said the trail was closed about four times a year before the project and is expected to need closure only once or twice annually after the work is complete. The project is expected to be finished by Thanksgiving.
The report said water from Spring Creek Parkway and upstream collects at that point on the trail during heavy rain, causing the closures. It did not identify a contractor, project cost, exact start date, or permitting details. For more information the broadcast directed viewers to the city website, Plano.gov.
