Do they ever plan to extend Bossy Boots to Bray Central? Seems like would have been a logical thing to do before closing off Watters.
Great observation. But there are two distinct and separate entities at work here. The City of Allen closed Watters Road in-order to work on the intersection at Exchange. Extending Bossy Boots to Bray Central will be done by the entity developing the property north of Bossy Boots, in this case the entity is Allen ISD.
I don't recall, but I believe based on the Allen Land Development Code, AISD is only required to build two lanes of traffic from Watters Road to Bossy Boots. Building two lanes is the standard practice, take Bray Central between Exchange and Hopewell as an example.

Yes, Bossy Boots will eventually be extended to a roundabout at Bray Central just south of Hopewell. I have not seen any plans from the City, but it was in one of their weekly emails in April:
In the coming months, Bray Central Drive will undergo construction to not only widen the roadway for increased capacity but also to receive a unique upgrade to its traffic flow. Currently a two-lane road, the roadway construction will expand Bray Central Drive to four-lanes and include a dual-lane roundabout North of Exchange Parkway, at a new intersection with Bossy Boots Drive. Roundabouts offer the safest type of same level intersection and provide the least delay time compared to stop sign or traffic signal control. Construction on Bray Central Drive is anticipated to begin in early May and be completed by the end of the year. To learn more about roundabouts, visit CityOfAllen.org/Roundabouts.

The North Side of Watters is open to Exchange again. I was surprised when I drove it yesterday.
