City council to discuss potential change to school zones near Wylie East

ABILENE, Texas (KTAB/KRBC) – The City of Abilene is looking to make changes to school zones in a confusing area of town.

The area in question is located at the intersection of Maple Street and Carriage Hills Parkway, near Wylie East Elementary and Wylie East Junior High. The two schools are situated very close to one another on Carriage Hills Parkway and had previously operated under one extended school zone.

However, this long school zone caused confusion among some drivers, who began accelerating too soon while still within the designated school zone. Max Johnson, the Director of Public Works for the City of Abilene, explained their solution to address this issue.

“Right now, both of the schools are incorporated into one school zone. We’re separating those two to make it a little more clear to all the drivers out there in traffic out there that there are two school zones,” Johnson said.

This new ordinance will have its first reading at the next city council meeting this Thursday.
