I know this area is listed for traffic calming. However, this week we had yet another car crash on this corner. Who can I contact to discuss prioritization? Is it possible the new crash could bump us up?

There are two requests. One covers Anderson to Teakwood. The other covers Teakwood from Mullen to Shadowood.

At this time, the evidence of support petitions are being validated and entered into the database to compete for funding for the 13A funding round, which includes the latter application mentioned. Final funding results will be available the first week of September and may be found at the following link:

As per the proposed plans, there is a modern roundabout proposed for the intersection of Mullen and Wooten Dr. Please note that a modern roundabout differs significantly from a traffic circle. Whereas a traffic circle is only a raised center island without any additional roadway modifications, A modern roundabout incorporates various features to physically change the roadway geometry. Typical features include splitter islands, mountable truck aprons, crosswalks located one vehicle length behind the entrance to the roundabout, appropriate horizontal deflection to effectively slow down vehicles at the approach, sweeping approach and departure curvature, and proper signage among others.
As I mentioned before, eligibility to compete for funding will be determined by next week. If the project is found to be funded, then a design kick-off meeting will be planned soon afterwards. If you have any other questions please feel free to contact me by phone or email. Thanks.

Viewing the application spreadsheet that Mario Porras linked to above, it appears that the application for Mullen from Anderson to Teakwood is missing the signatures it needs from neighbors — the latest status reads "Evidence of Support Petition not turned in or incomplete." I do remember a neighbor facilitating these signatures, does anyone remember who so we can follow up and keep this moving?
Secondly, did these funding rounds lose budget allocation? I recall Teakwood from Mullen To Burnet actually being allocated to a funding round in previous versions of this spreadsheet, thought it now simply reads "unfunded."
