FM1709 is a TxDOT roadway. With the addition of raised medians and right turn
deceleration lanes from Pearson Lane to Commerce St./Gateway Dr., u-turn and left
turn volumes will be substantially greater at all intersections than they were when
the corridor’s traffic signals were retimed in 2008.
As part of the study, Kimley Horn will obtain the existing signal timing information
from TxDOT, verify intersection roadway geometry, record traffic counts and turning
movements, and evaluate vehicular and pedestrian clearance times. The consultant
will also accompany TxDOT personnel as the new timing is implemented and will
perform in the field fine-tuning of the signals. At the end of the project, the final
timing plans and the electronic Synchro model will be provided to the city and
TxDOT.
