Title
Discuss Kelly Lane Major Investment Study (MIS).
Summary
The presentation of the Major Investment Study information is provided for key findings and potential improvement recommendations for City of Pflugerville to improve operations and planning for the Kelly Lane corridor and surrounding areas. The study originated along Kelly Lane to investigate delays and congestion impacts within the east-west corridor up to FM 685 and SH 130 roadways. As the project investigations progressed, other factors were needed to be evaluated within the north east and west region of the Kelly Lane corridor to develop a list of potential capital projects.
The City of Pflugerville retained professional engineering services from DKS Associates in 2019 to evaluate mobility and determine mitigations near-term (2020-2021) and long-term (2025) to reduce congestion for roadways and intersections in the northeast area of City of Pflugerville. Four phases have been identified in the Kelly Lane MIS. Phase 1 largely focus on Kelly Lane between Weiss Lane and SH 130 in the near- and short-term horizons, while Phase 2 focus on the operation of the Kelly Lane / FM 685 and FM 685 / SH 130 interchanges in the short- and long-term horizons. Phase 3 provided for traffic counts along Town Center Drive between FM 685 and Pfluger Farm Lane and Phase 4 focus specifically on mobility prepare a Mesoscopic model and data to evaluate traffic conditions in northeast Pflugerville. As one of the goals of the Mesoscopic modeling is to develop an area strategy that will better distribute traffic in and around the study area.
DKS completed Phase 1 analysis to provide near-term improvements on Kelly Lane within the intersection of Falcon Pointe Boulevard/Vilamoura Street for installation of flexible posts on Kelly Lane to restrict the side-street approaches to right-in, right-out only in addition to installation of a temporary traffic signal at the Kelly Lane/Jakes Hill Road/Hidden Lake Drive interse...
