o Reconstructing infrastructure that has reached the end of its service life or is no longer functioning as intended or planned; and
o Providing pedestrian improvements that promote walkability and which meet current State and Local requirements; and
o Providing corridor enhancements (landscaping, hardscaping, lighting, etc.) to further complement the character of the Historic Downtown McKinney Cultural District; and
o Promote and support further economic development in and around Downtown McKinney, including the redevelopment of City owned properties, by continuing to invest in infrastructure improvements.
• The overall project will include approximately 3,200 linear feet of concrete pavement section, including sidewalk, lighting, streetscape/landscape elements, with approximately 2,400 linear feet of water main replacement and 2,200 linear feet of sanitary sewer line replacement, and 2,500 linear feet of storm sewer design.
• In addition, the project will consider and develop concepts for a potential one-way to two-way conversion of both Kentucky and Tennessee Streets (between Lamar Street and Hunt Street).
• Design will also include a temporary traffic signal at the intersection of Lamar Street and McDonald Street (SH 5) to be installed in advance of TxDOT’s SH 5 project.
• During project design development, one or more public meetings will be hosted by the City to receive public input on proposed design alternatives.
