League City Parkway to get new right turn lane League City Parkway will soon have a new eastbound right turn lane from Butler Road to Calder Drive. What you need to know League City City Council at its April 22 meeting awarded a $1.41 million contract to Houston-based Teamwork Construction Services, Inc. to build an eastbound right turn lane. The lane will run a little west of Butler Road to the east of Calder Drive, city diagrams show. Adding to that, City Council also approved roughly $158,000 in work changes and a contract for materials testing, which will bring the project’s total cost to around $1.57 million, according to city agenda documents. The project is part of the city’s capital improve- ment plan and is partially funded by the 2018 Galveston County bond program.

A grand opening event for the development’s model homes and its welcome center is expected to come in the first half of 2026, according to the release. The Midline Club could open in 2027. The first phase of the project will include 271 homes across six collections, according to the release.

League City in partnership with the Texas Department of Transportation has activated several new traffic signals throughout the city, according to a League City news release. Long story short Officials said the new signals are mounted on poles, making them sturdier in the case of a weather event, as opposed to being attached to wires that dangle over the road.
