Intersection work to up pedestrian safety Various improvements to make the intersection at Greenville Avenue and Arapaho Road in Rich- ardson safer for pedestrians are underway. City Manager Don Magner said the improve- ments, which include new bike lanes and pedes- trian signals, will help create a safe pedestrian connection between the Dallas Area Rapid Transit station nearby and the new municipal complex. Construction is expected to last until late this year, according to the city’s project map. What you need to know Magner added the project will include several elements, such as: • Improved separated bike lanes near the intersec- tion of Greenville Avenue and Arapaho Road
4 roadways set for asphalt overlay
Work crews are expected to conduct concrete repairs and add an asphalt overlay along four streets in Richardson this fall, City Manager Don Magner said. The project is expected to cost over $4.3 million and last into early 2025, according to the city’s project’s map. Magner said crews will mill the existing asphalt; perform full depth repairs on the concrete base of the street; and apply a new layer of asphalt.
Work is underway at the corner of Greenville Avenue and Arapaho Road.

• New bike signals and pedestrian lighting “We really wanted to focus on multimodal improvement projects for bicyclists and pedes- trians,” Magner said. “Ultimately, it will be a connection between the municipal complex and Arapaho Station.” Funding for the project comes from two sources: $2.6 million in federal grant funding and around $1.2 million from a tax increment fund, per the project map.
