Glade Road Phase II Construction To Begin October 5
|
Glade Road Phase II construction, from Colleyville Boulevard (SH26) to Pool Road, is expected to begin October 5. As with any construction project, we do anticipate inconveniences. Traffic will be one-way at times. Message boards will be utilized to notify the traveling public of the upcoming project and will be updated, as needed.
Major improvements through the corridor include:
- A roundabout at Riverwalk Drive
- Lowering Bluebonnet Drive while removing the stop signs for east/west-bound traffic; left turn lane will be added for eastbound traffic
- Strategic left turn lane pockets at certain locations to reduce the stacking of traffic
- Addition of curb and gutter and/or ribbon curbs with open channel ditches and drop inlets
- Realignment of the Bedford Road intersection to improve sight visibility
- Drainage improvements including the addition of an engineered Storm Drainage System
- Sidewalks and/or trails will be added throughout the corridor
- A crosswalk will be added near the Senior Center

September 28 - National Good Neighbor Day
|
Good neighbors make great neighborhoods! National Good Neighbor Day, September 28, celebrates the importance of a good neighbor and creates an opportunity for neighbors to get to know each other better.
2020 has been a difficult year for many and we've heard countless heartwarming stories and examples of residents stepping up to help each other. National Good Neighbor Day is a great opportunity to continue those efforts and pledge to be a "good neighbor," becoming part of a more connected and caring community.
Great neighborhoods are built on 5 basic pillars:
-
Connection — Introduce yourself to your neighbors.
-
Invitation — Invite neighbors to join you in activities, community projects, or even a simple meal.
-
Celebration — Recognize, congratulate, or just cheer neighbors on for important milestones.
-
Awareness — Keep your eyes and ears open, staying attentive to the safety and security of your neighborhood.
-
Availability — Care for your neighbors. Show kindness and offer assistance when needed.
