Smart Traffic Light on Windhaven Pkwy at Winehart Entrace

This make sense but the recommendation of having Smart Traffic light is to maximize the street crossing with much safety rather assuming and unknown about what is coming on from the water tank side as this is very dangerous blind curve.

If anybody using the Highwood entrance you would not have an issue as you should be able to clearly observe what is happening on both the sides.

Also, knowing that there are nearly 800+ apartments coming in the Austin Ranch boat house community, 300+ individual houses from Pulte homes on Josey Ln, there will be an increase in the traffic on Windhaven.

IMO, Safety is the first priority than a minute delay while entering/exiting the community.

Hope this helps.

Hello,

I was unable to attend the meeting on Wednesday. Are there minutes posted from the meeting?

I wanted to suggest that we don't get any signals added on Windhaven. Even though they say it is a smart signal, in my experience, it becomes a nuisance and it is faster to get out of the community without a signal because most of the time I missed the signal in my previous community and it took a long time for it to turn green again. I would say I only benefitted 20% of the time and I had to wait longer than if there was no signal. Then once you start adding one signal, they will start popping up everywhere at Highwood and Trinity and you will end up wasting more time. Please, if you doubt me, try getting out of the neighborhood on Eisenhower in Carrollton and Huffines and the new signal they added on Cheyenne. I advise against it. We learned that lesson the hard way and regretted the signals that were added, when it wasn't worth it, other than rush hour. 

Thank you!

We definitely need a smart traffic light at the Winehart entrance as we can hardly see the coming traffic on Windhaven. Is it approved or still in the process?

Nope, it is not. We have made a request earlier but not yet approved.
