Residents and parents with kids at Legend Pond Elementary have a reason to ease up on their morning commute worries, as the city embarks on a new traffic calming project. Beginning September 15, contractors are set to paint down some new pavement markings on Legend Pond, stretching from Klein Rd. to Klein Meadows. The aim here is simple – to make the roads safer for everyone.
The endeavors won't mess with the daily school rush or lead to any road closures, which is good news for everyone from harried parents to sleepy kids. The project is expected to roll out over five days, with workers dodging peak hours to keep things smooth. In a statement obtained by the City of New Braunfels, it's clear that the city planners are thinking about those little daily patterns that, matter so much to residents.
Now, what's all the fuss about? Well, traffic calming can mean a lot from speed humps to roundabouts, but it all comes down to the same thing – slowing traffic down to protect the folks who live and play here. The specifics of the Legend Pond project aren't expansive, but the goal is to decrease the chance of accidents near the school zone, improving the well-being of children and pedestrians alike.
