What this means

Council added new members to the McKinney Development Committee and approved an economic development agreement tied to Project Plum Blossom. It also reviewed options for downtown parking, future city goals, and road conditions. The roadway presentation said the city’s current street funding is $23 million a year and showed that pavement conditions would still decline under the funding scenarios reviewed. That means residents could see continued pressure on road quality unless investment increases.
