The City Council adopted amendments to the
Comprehensive Plan, Destination Colleyville, at its Feb. 21
meeting. City staff and the consultant that helped draft the
revised plan are now making the revisions to the
document, which will be available in its updated form on
Colleyville.com when the changes are complete.
The City Council laid out its goals for improving the plan,
which include protecting the integrity of existing
neighborhoods, changing the calculation for density to
reflect net density 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 transition areas, separating private
parks from public park needs, and addressing any
associated changes in the Land Development Code based
on revisions to the Comprehensive Plan.

Glade Road asphalt maintenance project to begin
in February
The City will begin the interim maintenance of Glade Road
this Saturday.
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, weather permitting.
The road will 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 have 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.
The remaining sections of the project (sections east of
Colleyville Boulevard) will be scheduled for completion at a
later date, possibly in March. 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.
