In the works

Beginning in February, the City of Plano will start construction on this project to help traffic flow in Legacy:

• Begin widening the tollroad service roads from Spring Creek Parkway to Headquarters Drive. This also includes:

Westbound Legacy Drive at Dallas North Tollway – additions of a second left turn lane for south bound service roads and right turn lane to northbound service road. Three through lanes will remain.

Addition of right turn lanes on Dallas North Tollway service road at Tennyson Parkway and at Headquarters Drive.

• Proposed grade improvements to ease traffic flow through the Legacy Drive/Preston Road intersection as well as additional street lighting throughout the Legacy area are included in the May 2005 bond proposal.
• The extension of Parkwood Drive north of Headquarters to Hwy. 121 is under construction and will be complete this summer.
• The city has begun design on a project to increase left turn lane flow of east bound Legacy turning north on Hedgcoxe Road. Construction should start in early fall.

Children's Medical Center Legacy: The Children’s Medical Center name and familiar red-balloon logo have become synonymous with the most outstanding pediatric care in North Texas. Children’s is in the midst of an ambitious plan to build a regional pediatric healthcare system in Legacy, drawing upon a 90-year history of service to millions of children and their families. Children’s Medical Center Legacy, located on 69 acres at the southwest corner of Preston and Hedgcoxe, is scheduled to break ground in 2005.

The Lakes project: You may have noticed work being done on the lakes located throughout Legacy. In fact, these lakes are the primary source of water for irrigation in Legacy. Silt has built up over the past 14 years since the lakes were built, and consequently, they are being completely restored. The lakes will be drained, excavated and refilled. Work is scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2005 and will continue through the spring of 2005.
