The speed limit along an approximately 0.8-mile portion of McDermott Drive between Alma Drive and Watters Road is expected to increase.

Allen City Council approved the change from 40 mph to 45 mph for the identified section of McDermott Drive at a Feb. 10 meeting.

The specifics: The change comes after an engineering and traffic study indicating that 85% of drivers are already safely operating vehicles in the identified section of roadway at above 45 mph, city documents state. All new speed limit signs are scheduled to be installed by March 4, Communication Manager Kristi Soto said.

Panj Tara is coming soon to Allen, owner Amanpreet Singh said.

A closer look: The restaurant, which also has a Frisco location, offers chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, shahi paneer, butter naan and more, according to its website.
