Drainage study set near Collin Creek will not delay project Plano City Council approved a drainage analysis contract June 9 for Spring Creek and its surrounding watershed from 15th Street to Plano Parkway. The analysis comes after the city identi- fied errors in the previous floodplain modeling by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, according to city documents. What you need to know After the error in FEMA’s floodplain modeling was corrected, the new model showed the culverts were overtopping south of 15th Street, meaning the water was rising above the culverts and spilling out. This modeled scenario presents a potential flood risk in a portion of the road that circles the mall in the case of a 100-year flood—a flood event with a 1% chance to occur in any given year.
Retail center set for $300K upgrades Plano residents can expect to see upcom- ing exterior upgrades and design improve- ments to the Parker Plaza West retail center located off Custer Road. The details At its June 23 meeting, Plano City Council unanimously approved an economic devel- opment incentive agreement to support facade enhancements for the retail center and its businesses. The agreement allocates $300,000 in grant funding toward the property rehabili- tation. The property owners are planning $4 million of improvements in total, according to city documents. The retail spaces at 2129 and 2109 W. Parker Road, which are leased out and managed by Harkinson Dewan Commercial, will be the focus of the upgrades.

The Collin Creek Mall redevelopment project will not be delayed by the study, Plano Director of Special Projects Peter Braster said. “There are different ways to solve the problem, so this study is going to tell us which is the best way,” he said. “But, none of that will slow down the work on Collin Creek.” What’s next After identifying the best solution, the next phase will require new design plans and approval by council.
