TEMPLE, TX â Whether itâs at the local HEB or just a community park, if you live in Temple, there s a pretty good chance youâve noticed the amount of folks moving into the city over the years.
With more people brings more vehicles, oftentimes leading to more traffic around town.
In an effort to unclog roadways, provide better transportation options and routes for residents, the city, for the first time ever, created a Master Mobility Plan.
âWe have a number of plans that have addressed some facet of transportation, whether that s freight or safety or safe routes to school, But we ve never combined those into one plan,â Jason Deckman, the cityâs senior transportation planner explained. âThat s much more of a strategic document.â
