City Manager had recently contracted The Goodman Corporation to conduct a Traffic Signal Warrant Analysis, examining the possible need for a traffic light. The objective of the study was to evaluate if signalization is warranted for the intersection of W. Van Alstyne Parkway (FM121) and Collin McKinney Parkway. The analysis was conducted based on traffic impact analysis completed for Van Alstyne High School’s new location currently under construction to the south of the subject intersection, set to open in Fall 2024.
