Celina City Council decided to rework plans for improvements on Glendenning Parkway after residents shared concerns about traffic during construction.

In a nutshell: Glendenning Parkway is set to undergo a series of spot repairs plus a surface treatment, according to a presentation by Engineering Director William Janney.

What happened: City officials voted to expand the scope of the project to include Old Log Trail and CR 53 at an Oct. 13 meeting.

What changed: Before work starts on Glendenning Parkway, crews will convert part of CR 53 to concrete and connect it to the Glen Crossing neighborhood via a concrete extension of Old Log Trail.

Why it matters: This will give the Glen Crossing residents an additional access point once Glendenning Parkway closes for construction, Janney said.
