1171 signals: It's about time!

Cribbed from the Town's website:

Staff recently received authorization from TxDOT to install traffic signals at the intersections of FM 1171 at High Road and Flower Mound Road. TxDOT has offered to include the signals with the FM 1171 project, but this option would delay the installation of the signals. The current plan is to design and install temporary traffic signals at these locations as soon as possible with Town funds. A temporary design includes wood poles with the signals hanging on span wires, which allows for adjustment of the signal heads when FM 1171 goes under construction. Permanent signals will be installed as part of the FM 1171 project.

The Town website also reports TxDOT construction work on FM 1171 will begin late this year or early next, and it will take 2 1/2 years to build the new road.
