LEAGUE CITY — The Texas Department of Transportation has informed League City administrators that it will transfer the maintenance and operation of traffic signals on state highways to the city on June 1.
The responsibility of traffic signal operation and maintenance is the duty of incorporated cities with a population of 50,000 or more, according to the Texas Administration Code.
League City had been anticipating the population to exceed 50,000, and it was confirmed when the 2010 census data listed League City’s population as 83,560.
The city’s public works and engineering department has been working for the past year to prepare for the transition.
“We are in the process of completing a traffic signal maintenance plan, cataloging all intersections and preparing signage, as well as working with contractors on various elements of the project,” Linc Wright, League City’s traffic engineer, said. “The city plans to take a very proactive approach, and we believe the transition will be a smooth one.”
