TRAFFIC SIGNAL FUNDING APPROVED

  

The Brenham City Council approved at (Thursday’s) meeting to  an ‘advanced funding agreement’ to install a traffic signal on U.S. 290 and Chappell Hill Street once a project is completed that will connect the two roadways.

City Engineer Grant Lischka told the City Council that the Texas Department of Transportation needs to have the traffic signal installed in order to proceed with the project.

Under the funding agreement the city will pay the costs of installing the signal and TxDot would maintain it.  Lischka says this will run into money, maybe well over $225,000.

 

The  city has been looking at connecting Chappell Hill Street to290 for several years, in order to improve the flow of traffic through the city.

  1. Street extension seems to be a waste of $$$
    Return stringer into a through street the way it use to be traffic can go from 290 to Becker then right down to the light at market that is already there & has very little traffic Use that route a lot it easy except for the stop sign redirecting of the street someone had the brainfart to install
    To install another light on market just over the hill for incoming is not smart nor wasting money on a light setup & road extension to get there when its already there
