Southlake Boulevard is one of the most heavily traveled roadways, and traffic is disrupted by vehi- cles slowing to turn, according to city documents. The work required relocating existing traffic signals and upgrading the pedestrian walkway, according to a city memo. What else? EARTC, a construction company out of Fort Worth, did the work. The cost of the project was $917,000, with funding from the city and the 2006 Tarrant County bond, according the city’s website.
