McKinney Street Sidewalks

The McKinney Sidewalk Audra to Loop 288 Project was initiated to address a critical gap in pedestrian infrastructure along a heavily trafficked corridor with limited sidewalk access. This corridor serves as a vital connection between residential neighborhoods and key commercial and civic destinations, making the improvement essential for enhancing safety, accessibility, and overall community connectivity.

The project received strong support from the Mobility Committee following a presentation of three design alternatives. The selected option prevailed by majority vote, affirming its alignment with the City’s strategic objectives for walkability and sustainable urban development.

The scope of work includes the installation of approximately 3,700 linear feet of five-foot-wide sidewalks, drainage improvements to enhance infrastructure resilience, and the construction of a pedestrian bridge to ensure safe passage across a creek crossing. These improvements will significantly enhance pedestrian safety and accessibility along one of the City’s most critical corridors.

On May 7, 2024, the City Council awarded a contract to Westwood Professional Services for comprehensive engineering design services. This engagement encompasses design development, bid-phase support, and construction support services, ensuring the project is delivered to the highest standards of quality and efficiency.

The McKinney Sidewalk Audra to Loop 288 project has a total estimated cost of $1,192,800 which is local funds.
