More signals are anticipated in the coming months as part of the city’s commitment to modernize traffic management.
Exciting Traffic Signal Updates Coming to Georgetown!
Hey Georgetown residents! We’ve got some exciting news that will surely enhance your driving and walking experience around town. Georgetown Independent School District (GISD) is teaming up with local authorities to install a brand new traffic signal at the bustling intersection of Parkside Parkway and Hwy. 29. This fantastic announcement was made on April 2, 2025, and it’s aimed at boosting safety for both drivers and pedestrians in the area.
Improving Safety for Everyone
As our lovely city grows, we know how vital it is to keep roads safe. The installation of this traffic signal is a crucial step in ensuring that the intersection at Parkside Parkway and Hwy. 29 is well-regulated and secure for everyone. With an increase in traffic from the nearby neighborhoods, this signal will help maintain order and improve the safety of all the dedicated drivers and enthusiastic walkers passing through.
More Signals on the Way!
But wait, there’s more! Residents can look forward to even more traffic changes in the coming months. The city has plans to bring five additional traffic signals online soon. These changes will undoubtedly make navigating the streets even safer and more organized as we embrace modern solutions for our growing community.
Another Exciting Installation at Woodward High School
This signal is particularly important as Woodward High School is currently acting as a temporary location for students from Northwood High School, due to construction activities on the new Northwood building. Since September 2024, Northwood students have been attending classes at Woodward, and this arrangement is projected to continue until August 2026.
Looking Towards the Future
Once the new Northwood High School building is finalized, Woodward High School is set to reopen to students in September 2026. The new traffic signal at Woodward High School will significantly enhance safety for students, staff, and drivers, which is especially important in light of the temporary increase in foot and vehicle traffic in the area.
Community Involvement is Key
So, keep an eye out for the flashing lights and prepare for safer travels throughout Georgetown! With the city’s commitment to enhancing our roadways and the ongoing collaboration with the Georgetown ISD and other local entities, safety is truly becoming a top priority for our beautiful city.
Let’s gear up for these exciting changes together!
