Public Visioning Survey

As we design De Soto and update the City’s Strategic Plan, one way we're gathering citizen input is through monthly online surveys.

This month we're focusing on Visioning and Quality of Life; follow the survey link to create your own De Soto MadLib Vision Statement!

Traffic Signals @ Kill Creek & 83rd

Last week, contracted engineers implemented a new timing pattern on the traffic signals at 83rd & Kill Creek. The work to create a better solution for drivers in all directions continues next week when we install the new controller and motion-detection cameras.

Follow us on Facebook to see the most up-to-date information on the traffic signal.
