During the Flower Mound Town Council meeting on Monday, council members also approved several items as part of a consent agenda.
Items approved by town council members include:
*Amending Chapter 66, Article V, Section 66-214 of the Code of Ordinances of the Town of Flower Mound, by adding speed limits for Lakeside Parkway with the following segments and speed limits: Between Long Prairie Road (FM 2499) to Sandy Lane (30 mph);Between south Town Limits and Sandy Lane (40 mph); and from FM 2499 to the east Town Limits (45 mph).
Lakeside Parkway, in the vicinity of the new Greystar Development within Lakeside DFW,is currently posted at 40 mph on the west side of FM 2499 and 45 mph on the east side of FM 2499.Based on the design speed of the roadway, narrow lanes, new angled parking on Lakeside Parkway between Sandy Lane and FM 2499, as well as the commercial and residential properties in this area proposed to generate a large number of pedestrians, the appropriate speed limit for this area is 30 mph.
For the rest of Lakeside Parkway between Lakeside Village and Sandy Lane, until the Lakeside DFW development continues with the next phase of development, the pedestrian activity, parking activity is expected to be low. Therefore, the current speed limit of 40 mph is an appropriate speed limit.
For Lakeside Parkway east of FM 2499, based on the engineering study and the study of the speeds along these segments, the current posted speed limit of 45 mph is appropriate.
