Background
Parkhaven Drive is an east-west 36-foot-wide collector street connecting Independence Parkway and Custer Road. Haggard Middle School recently relocated to the southeast corner of Independence Parkway and Parkhaven Drive with a carpool entrance on Parkhaven Drive and an exit on Wildcat Way.
Plano Independent School District (PISD) informed city staff that parents routinely park on both sides of Parkhaven Drive adjacent to the school. This on-street parking obstructs carpool operations, blocks the intersection of Parkhaven Drive and Independence Parkway, and creates hazardous conditions for pedestrians. PISD staff have requested parking restrictions along certain sections of Parkhaven Drive.
The Transportation Engineering Division has evaluated these locations and recommends establishing No Parking zones along certain sections of Parkhaven Drive to improve traffic flow and ensure the safe and efficient movement of vehicles and pedestrians.
