Traffic signal work at Parkwood and Henry Cook, Legacy and Thomas Watson, and Parkwood and Tennyson filed with the state at $2.1 million

Three west Plano intersections are in line for traffic signal work in 2027, under a city project registered with the state on Wednesday, Oct. 14.

According to the registration, which went to the state agency that checks public works for accessibility, the signals are planned for:

Parkwood Boulevard and Henry Cook Boulevard
Legacy Drive and Thomas Watson Way
Parkwood Boulevard and Tennyson Parkway

The City of Plano is listed as the owner and the project is publicly funded. The estimated cost is $2,142,000.

What the work includes

The scope describes two kinds of work. One part is construction of traffic signals with accessible curb ramps and sidewalks, covering about 10,190 and 7,290 square feet of walkway. The other is a modification of an existing traffic signal with ramps and about 1,400 square feet of sidewalk.

The filing does not say which of the three intersections gets the modification rather than a new signal.

Kimley-Horn is listed as the design firm. Construction is scheduled to start June 1, 2027, and finish by Dec. 31, 2027, according to the registration, which shows the project at its first stage, "Project Registered."

The filing does not give a reason for the signals, traffic counts or a construction contractor, and the schedule could change as design is completed.

All three intersections are in the 75024 ZIP code in Collin County, the filing shows.
