7th Street Parallel Bike Routes (Revised 2/2026)
This project will build bike facilities in several different locations throughout the Elizabeth neighborhood to create safer conditions and improve ease of travel for cyclists and pedestrians, including approximately 2.1 miles of sharrows, modernization of two existing rectangular rapid flashing beacons, replacement of 10 wheelchair ramps, a new pedestrian crossing at Pecan Avenue and Shenandoah Avenue, implementation of new bike detection cameras, a new full traffic signal at Bascom Street and 7th Street, and a curb extension located at the intersection of Pecan Avenue and 8th Street.

Foxrun/Burtonwood Storm Drainage Improvement Project
This project is bordered by Rama Road to the north, McAlpine Creek to the south, Monroe Road to the east and Burlwood Road to the west. The drainage system consists of open channel and closed pipe systems underneath City maintained roads. This was previously identified as a major capital project from the watershed ranking prioritization process with a score of 54 of 100. The ranking protocol identifies 30 structures that experience flooding in the 100-year storm event and 16 roads that experience transverse overtopping events that do not meet current standards. A holistic project is needed to cost beneficially address the drainage system issues.
