Pflugerville reports signal timing, lane and maintenance upgrades after community survey
Summary
City staff said a recent community survey showed 97% of respondents prioritized traffic and road work. Pflugerville officials described completed and planned projects including a new signal-timing platform, 10.57 lane miles of reconstruction, emergency vehicle preemption and a planned widening of Weis Lane.
Pflugerville city staff said the city has carried out and initiated multiple traffic and roadway projects after a community survey found 97% of respondents identified traffic management, signal timing and road improvements as top priorities.
“Your input into the Pflugerville community survey made a real impact,” city staff said, summarizing the outreach results and the city’s response.
City staff said improvements over the past two years include installing a new signal timing platform, adding 10.57 lane miles through roadway reconstruction and widening projects, installing battery backup units at intersections, and implementing an emergency vehicle preemption system to improve emergency response times. Staff also said in-house street sweeping has been expanded and that Kelly Lane and Colorado Sam are currently under construction.
The presentation listed several major roadway projects, including Piccadilly Drive, Central Commerce Drive and Royston Lane, and noted completed neighborhood street reconstruction projects totaling over $5,000,000 for streets such as Tenth, Mountain View and Plumbago. The presentation also said the city finished Impact Way phase 3 and has initiated plans for phase 4 to support development and expansion of the 130 Business Park.
City staff said design work is under way for Weis Lane to expand from two lanes to four lanes between Pleasanton Parkway and Pecan. Staff also reported the city has implemented an emergency vehicle preemption system to improve response times for emergency vehicles.
The presentation referenced an unspecified investment when summarizing funding for major roadway projects; the slide or remarks said only that the city “Invested million” in major roadway projects, and a total dollar figure for that line item was not provided. Timelines, funding sources for some projects and completion dates beyond the items named were not specified in the remarks.
“Thanks to your feedback, we're making Pflugerville's roads safer and more efficient,” city staff said.
City staff did not provide additional budget detail or detailed timelines for each project during the remarks. Several projects were described as completed or under construction; others were described as planned or in design.
