PLANO A portion of 10th Street in Plano is set for almost $4.5 million of upgrades. Plano City Council approved a contract for the replacement of pavement, sidewalks and 1,320 linear feet of water line from N Avenue to Jupiter Road during a Feb. 27 meeting. The project will also include improvements to the drainage system along 10th Street, according to the agenda item. The item states the system is “undersized” and causes minor ¢ooding when it rains. The $4.43 million contract was awarded to McMahon Contracting and Construction, and the project will be funded by the city’s 2022-23 street improvements and water capital improvement project funds.
