By the late '70s, Narco Realty wanted to develop the land called Parkland Lakes Planned Unit Development (now known as Cypresshead). The City approved the Lakes project in 1978 and Narco completed the first phase of the development of Parkland Lakes. Before they were allowed to begin the second phase, however, they needed to upgrade Holmberg Road from Narco's western boundary to State Road 7 and align Holmberg Road to Johnson Road, east of State Road 7.
It took until mid-1982, but Narco moved the road several hundred feet north to align Holmberg Road with Johnson Road, raised the elevation to avoid flooding during rainstorms, and improved the curving of the road to address safety hazards.
As the population of Parkland grew steadily, Holmberg Road was extended further west, traffic circles were built, and traffic lights were installed to control the traffic increases.
Erected by City of Parkland and the Parkland Historical Society.
