Regional officials to seek traffic relief North Texas officials hope to launch a federally funded pilot program to help relieve congestion along several corridors in the region, including US 75. What’s happening? The North Central Texas Council of Gov- ernments intends to apply for a federal grant after action from the Regional Transporta- tion Council during an April 11 meeting. If awarded, the grant funds would be used to create a smartphone application that would offer incentives to change travel behavior on US 75, I-635E, I-35W, I-35E and I-30. The NCTCOG will apply for $20 million in federal grant money to fund the project and will use transportation development credits to meet the nonfederal match requirement.

Work underway along Legacy Drive
Program engineering manager, said the Legacy Corridor project, which includes improvements at Legacy Drive’s intersections with Independence Parkway, Custer Road and K Avenue, will include additional right- and left-turn lanes, and improve- ments to traffic signals and pedestrian areas. A separate project at the intersection of Legacy Drive and Hedgcoxe Road focuses on a lane offset to the right of turning lanes, he added. Construction at the intersection of Legacy Drive and Independence Parkway began in March and is expected to be completed by the end of the year. The project at Legacy Drive and Hedgcoxe Road should be finished in May.
Several projects are underway in Plano along Legacy Drive. Work crews are currently working on improve- ments to several intersections along Legacy Drive in addition to an asphalt overlay project. What you need to know Clay Lipscomb, Community Investment
