Cottonwood Creek and would complete the trail linkage.
2. Star Fountain Entry and Streetscape Improvements at a cost of $700,000. This
project includes the design and construction of the star entry feature, the pavement
enhancement, and planting a double row of street trees along Allen Drive from
McDermott Drive to Main Street.

cost of $1,080,000. This three phase project includes Right -of -Way acquisition through
the STEP program, design of trailhead and trail extensions, and construction of trail
extensions (half of total costs).
4. Allen Drive Realignment and Streetscape at a cost of $500,000. This two phase
project includes acquiring the right-of-way for the realignment of Allen Drive between
Ola Lane and Coast Drive to eliminate an unsafe curve, in anticipation of
Library/Performing Arts construction. It also includes pavement enhancement and
planting a double row of street trees along Allen Drive from Cottonwood Creek to Main
Street.
5. Restoration of Historic Dam and Adjacent Site at a cost of $200,000. This project
would require STEP matching funds for restoration of the historic Stone Dam and

6. St. Mary's Drive at a cost of $600,000. This project would pave 1,500 feet of St.
Mary's Drive from Allen Drive to Cedar Drive to include 44 -foot concrete paving and
sidewalks. The project is scheduled to coincide with the construction of the new Allen
Library/Performing Arts Center, and is a key element in providing adequate and safe
circulation within the Central Business District. This project will also provide street
lighting, streetscape improvements and landscaping adjacent to the Library/Performing
Arts Center.
7 Belmont Drive Alley Construction at a cost of $80,000. This project would pave a
20 -foot concrete alley on Belmont Drive between Bonham Drive and Anna Drive, and
would replace obsolete water lines.
8. Austin Drive CBD parking at a cost of $250,000. This project would provide public
parking adjacent to Austin Drive between McDermott Drive and Main Street.
Mr. Vargas presented a proposal from the Allen Fire Department.
1. An Emergency Management Warning System at a cost of $300,000. This project
would replace existing outdoor warning sirens and indoor radio receivers with state of
the art equipment. The new equipment would function in the event of a power
interruption due to natural or man-made disaster. The new sirens would cover 100
percent of Allen.
John Baumgartner presented five proposals from Community Services/Engineering Department.
1. Malone Road/East Main Street Intersection Improvement at an estimated cost of
$150,000. This project would widen and reconstruct approximately 150 feet of the
northern leg of the Malone Road and East Main Street Intersection. It includes the
addition of a northbound to westbound right tum lane, lengthening the drainage
culverts, relocation of signal equipment, the widening of the curb returns and the
reconstruction of the south 150 feet of this intersection.
2. State Highway 5 (Greenville Avenue) Sidewalks at a cost of $500,000. This project
is part of the reconstruction of State Highway 5/Greenville Avenue project recently
completed by the Texas Department of Transportation and the City of Allen. The
TxDOT does not fund roadway enhancements to roadways; improvements are the
responsibility of the local jurisdiction. This project would install sidewalks along State
Highway 5/Greenville Avenue from Exchange Parkway to Ridgemom Drive.
3. Mustang Creek Channel Improvements (Phase II) at a cost of no more than
$170,000. This project will enhance landscaping and mitigate the disturbance/loss of
wetlands caused by the Phase I project. Phase II extends from Main Street south
through the Shadow Lake Subdivision and Shadow Lakes Park.
