Staff member, City staff, said the City of Plano completed a series of infrastructure projects through December 2024 that included road overlays, waterline replacements, culvert rehabilitation and sidewalk reconstruction.

The work, the city said, included opening the intersection at Preston Ridge Trail and Bluebonnet Trail near Carpenter Park Drive; an asphalt overlay on East Parker Road from the east city limits to U.S. 75; the Steeplechase Estates water rehabilitation project with paving and water-line replacement on Kingston Drive, Duchess Trail, Lorraine Drive and Willow Lane; rehabilitation of the Collin Creek culverts beneath the proposed Collin Creek development and former mall site; and a substantial Parker Road waterline replacement between Independence Parkway and Alma Drive, with intersection improvements at Parker Road and Alma Drive and at Parker Road and Coit Road.

The city provided cumulative work totals for 2024: inspections and repairs on 34 miles of streets, 42 miles of sidewalks and 14 miles of alleys; about 7.11 miles of reconstructed sidewalk; roughly 11 miles of replaced concrete pavement in residential and arterial corridors; approximately 28,100 linear feet of reconstructed screening walls; five intersections upgraded for capacity and signal improvements; and nearly 15 miles of old cast-iron water pipe replaced with new PVC pipe.

City departments listed as overseeing the projects included engineering, public works, parks and recreation and the facilities division; the facilities and engineering teams also completed renovations to the Florence Shapiro Council Chambers. The city described the asphalt overlay on East Parker Road as concluding the East Asphalt Overlay 2024 project.
