rather than gross density, adding language that the City
initiate rezoning based on the Comprehensive Plan to
eliminate residential areas that are zoned for small lots but
have developed with large lots, removing residential

Glade Road asphalt maintenance project to begin
in February
The City will begin the interim maintenance of Glade Road
at the end of February.
Crews will place a new asphalt surface over the existing
roadway to improve the ride quality until such time that the
road is completely rebuilt. The section between the western
city limits and Bransford Road is scheduled to be performed
on Saturday, Feb. 25. The remaining sections of the project
(sections east of Colleyville Boulevard) will be scheduled for
completion at a later date, possibly in March.
The road will have to be closed to through traffic from Bear
Creek Drive (western city limits) to Bransford Road in order
to perform construction activity in a safe manner. During
construction, which will be limited to a single day, residents
and property owners that live in the area will be allowed
access to and from their property. Postal service and
emergency services will have access at all times. In order
to avoid delays, it is recommend to avoid this route on Feb.
25.
This project, which includes interim maintenance of
multiple sections of Glade Road, will be performed over a
series of Saturdays to limit the disruption to the public. By
performing the work on Saturdays versus a standard work
day, work hours are not limited by peak hour traffic and
the amount of traffic is greatly reduced. Construction is
expected to begin at 7:00 a.m. and may end at 6:00 p.m.
