Construction begins Saturday, August 6, to rebuild Lakeside Parkway from the northern roundabout to the central roundabout.
Residents and commuters may face delays as the east side of the parkway is closed and traffic is funneled to the west side of the parkway.
Rebuilding both sides of Lakeside Parkway from the northern to the central roundabout is expected to take nearly a year.
The road work is an integral part of the Elan Flower Mound project (a.k.a., Greystar Phase II) that is expected to begin construction in September.
Elan Flower Mound will offer 466 residences (apartments and town homes) and include seven four-story buildings that will line both sides of Lakeside Parkway from Surrey to Edgemere (near the central roundabout). Most of the town homes will be located in the interior of the project, off the parkway.
The two buildings between Surrey and the northern roundabout will include 15,000 sf of dedicated retail space on the ground floor.
The remaining five buildings will contain approximately 85,000 sf of flex space built to commercial specifications that may be converted from residential to retail use as the market warrants.
In addition to its importance to Elan Flower Mound, the road work on Lakeside Parkway will play a key role to two other projects that are already underway: The Lakeside Tower and Overture Flower Mound.
The 14-story Lakeside Tower will feature 52 luxury condominiums featuring scenic views overlooking Lake Grapevine.

Overture is an age-restricted apartment project (55 and older) that will include approximately 200 residences housed in two buildings, one three stories and one four stories.
With an esplanade and the Lakeside Trail running through it, Overture will afford residents with lots of walking options. And a 14,000-square-foot amenity center will offer residents access to a salon, kitchen, movie room, game room, bistro, pool and yoga/fitness center.

When the three projects are complete in approximately eighteen months, a total of 1,390 residences will be complete in Lakeside.

Flex space = more residents which is basically the game plan. Will you build flex parking for the additional residences?
Current roads are so narrow if you try a u turn (not condoning) you must do it from a thru lane if you want to do it in one shot. If you try from a turn lane you can’t do it in one shot
