City of McKinney planning updates published in late February 2026 report design work on the Bloomdale Road and Spur 195 realignment as "roughly 30% complete," while the city planning database shows a DESIGN entry ST4375 with a budget of $6,036,523 and a design progress value of 0.3348624, with a start date listed 5/20/2025 and a forecast end date 12/20/2027.

The McKinney planning dataset also lists a PLANNING entry ST4229 for the same corridor with a $1,345,500 figure and the line "Construct remaining planned lanes along Bloomdale (West of SH 5) and establish new planned intersection of Bloomdale/FM543" as the project description. ST4229 appears under PLANNING with status fields showing "TBD 0 0 0 0 0 0 TBD" in the extract.

Multiple entries in the McKinneytexas dataset reference Bloomdale and Spur 195 work separately: ST4229 (PLANNING $1,345,500), ST4375 (DESIGN $6,036,523, 0.3348624 progress), and a separate PLANNING line ST2515 titled "Bloomdale Realignment to US 380 Bypass" shown as PLANNING $ - TBD 0% in the extract. The dataset presents these as distinct line items rather than a single consolidated project budget or phase.

Regional corridor planning documents in the Keepitmovingdallas material tie the Bloomdale/Spur 195 work to larger US 75 and SH 5 geometry. Segment E is described in detail: "Segment E begins in a short, depressed section under CR 161/future Ridge Road transitioning to an elevated freeway to cross over FM 1461/Lake Forest Drive, then transitioning back to at-grade to cross under Taylor Burk Drive (former CR 1006 and to be realigned by the City of McKinney) and Bloomdale Road East, then transitioning back to an elevated freeway to cross over CR 164/future Hardin Boulevard and Community Avenue. At Community Avenue the bridge structure would extend northeast on new location to cross the Honey Creek floodplain, accommodate the new multi-level interchange at US 75, span Spur 195, and cross the East Fork Trinity River floodplain and connect to SH 5. Frontage roads on both sides of the mainlanes would be carried throughout Segment E from CR 161/future Ridge Road [...]"

Keepitmovingdallas also documents pedestrian and frontage-road changes that affect Spur 195: "Removed the proposed SUP along the eastbound and westbound frontage road bridges through the US 75 interchange, re-routing them to be at-grade along Spur 195 to the US 75/Laud Howell Pkwy intersection, and then along the existing US 75 westbound frontage road to reduce bridge costs and improve safety for pedestrians and bicyclists." The regional extract additionally states planners "Realigned the westbound frontage road connection to Spur 195 to address intersection sight distance" and that Community Avenue was "Widened ... to accommodate a future 6-lane section, requested by the City of McKinney."

The McKinneytexas extract lists related projects and funding that provide context for citywide priorities. Design entries include ST2233 James Pitts Realignment DESIGN $2,550,000 (date 3/30/2024), ST2234 Lower 5 Plaza DESIGN $1,125,000 (date 11/17/2021), ST2302 Citywide Street Rehabilitation DESIGN $10,316,000 (date field shows 1/0/1900), and ST2303 Intersection capacity improvements DESIGN $756,000 (date 9/3/2024). The dataset also lists TR2020 SH 5 Illumination with the entry "ERROR $ 1,853,384 TBD 1 N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A TBD" and the description "Installation of continuous median illumination (construction to occur concurrent with TxDOT reconstruction of SH 5)."

The planning records contain explicit formatting anomalies and placeholders that officials will need to reconcile. TR2020 appears with the verbatim "ERROR $ 1,853,384 TBD 1 N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A TBD" in the extract, and ST2302 shows an invalid date "1/0/1900" in the dataset. The city reported "roughly 30% complete" in late February 2026 while ST4375's decimal progress 0.3348624 is more precise (approximately 33.49%); both figures are recorded in the materials.

Key open items for project coordination remain documented in the records: which project code establishes authoritative funding and phase control for the Bloomdale-Spur 195 work (ST4229 versus ST4375 versus ST2515), whether the ST4375 decimal represents the same measurement cited in the city's late-February statement, and whether TR2020's illumination schedule will align with TxDOT reconstruction of SH 5. If current dataset dates hold, ST4375 design runs from 5/20/2025 to a forecast 12/20/2027; construction timing and right-of-way impacts tied to the US 75 Segment E alignment and Spur 195 frontage-road realignments remain to be finalized.
