There is a small silver lining in these days of weirdness: The City of Plano is taking advantage of fewer cars on our roads during the COVID-19 pandemic by ramping up construction and working longer hours to complete projects faster. Director of Engineering Caleb Thornhill, Assistant Director of Public Works Dan Prendergast and Traffic Engineering Manager Brian Shewski join the podcast to give us details. Steve and Shannah also cover other happenings in the City – including a slightly different plan for Clear the Shelter 2020.
