October is Black Cat Month

For Black Cat Awareness Month, we’d like to highlight Shadow, a 5-month-old male black cat. Recently vaccinated, Shadow is a friendly and curious kitty who enjoys pets and purrs when he receives his scratches. He is cautious in new environments but quickly settles into spaces. Shadow would be a wonderful addition to any family who is looking for a furry friend to appreciate.

We currently have many adoptable animals in our shelter looking for a new place to call home. Learn more by visiting our Petfinder page or calling (214) 862-4525.

Road and Infrastructure Projects

East Fork Bridge Update

Repairs are underway on the East Fork Bridge over Duck Creek. Spring floods caused structural damage, prompting the Town of Sunnyvale to close the bridge. Repair construction is expected to last through November.

Visit the Town website for more information.

Collins Road Beautification Project Underway

A key beautification project is underway. The Town of Sunnyvale is working to improve the look of Collins Road from US 80 all the way through the roundabout at Tripp Road by adding landscaping and irrigation along the medians and in the Tripp Roundabout.

Additional enhancements will include water fountains and hardscape in the roundabout area. This project is expected to continue into mid-2025.

For more information, visit the project page on the Town website.

Where stormwater flows, everything goes. Trash left on sidewalks gets swept into sewers and contaminates stormwater. Be #StormwaterSmart!
