Parkland roadways are getting a little safer.

The city has announced the installation of a new traffic light at the intersection of Pine Island Road and Trails End. The City Commission decided to make the traffic light a top priority because of its close proximity to two elementary schools and Pine Trails Park.

McMahon Associates, Inc., will design the traffic signal and plans will be sent to the county for approval. WCI Communities, Inc., will partner with Parkland for the project, which is of no cost to the city. Installation for the traffic light is scheduled for next spring or summer.
