Project Information
This project includes the installation of backlit intersection signage to approximately 14 major intersections along Southlake Blvd. similar to the existing signage at Kimball Ave. and SH114. This project includes the intersections of FM1709 at SH114, Commerce St., Nolen Dr., Kimball Ave., Village Center Dr., Carroll Ave., Byron Nelson Pkwy, White Chapel Blvd., Shady Oaks Dr., Waterford Dr./Southridge Lakes Pkwy, Peytonville Ave., Randol Mill Ave./Davis Blvd., Pearson Ln and Watermere. This project will improve safety for the driving public by significantly improving the visibility of major intersection signage at night.
Bundled with this project will be the installation of a traffic backup battery system along Southlake Blvd. (FM 1709). Backup batteries will be installed at each of the intersections listed above. These battery backups are critical in the event of a power outage. They will keep the intersection traffic signals operational, and keep traffic flowing as usual.
Both the illuminated street name signs, and the traffic signal backup batteries, are safety enhancements that will help alleviate traffic congestion under certain conditions.
