which will line portions of SH 26, are part of the city’s e ort to beautify Colleyville Boulevard. Plans for the Colleyville Gateways began under for- mer Mayor Richard Newton, who was rst elected to the position in 1992. Mayor Bobby Lindamood said Newton’s idea was to brand where Colleyville began and ended. He said people driving through town often do not know whether “they are in Grapevine, North Richland Hills or Bedford.” The Gateways will help with that, Lindamood said. The city is constructing three gateways: the Pasto- ral Gateway at John McCain Road, the Main Street Gate- way at Main Street and the Creekside Gateway near Brown Trail. The Pastoral Gateway will have a Col- leyville identity sign, a tower, stone walls, agstone and a native meadow, accord- ing to city documents. The Main Street Gateway and Creekside Gateway will also have the tower elements as well as landscaping. Lindamood said Colleyville has high standards when it comes to construction, and the city demands a high level of quality when working with contractors and companies. “That’s what makes Col- leyville unique,” Lindamood said. “We actually care for those open spots and that hometown feel.” Lindamood referred to Main Street as having been a “sore spot” in the city for several years with businesses

The plan states that many of the projects are “multi- year in nature” and do not t within the city’s annual budget. Project breakdown CIP project categories range from $200,000 for master plans and studies to $21.9 million for streets. “The Capital Improvement [Program] provides an oppor- tunity to consider all of the city’s capital needs in these coming years and determine priorities for each of [them],” Wright said. The largest portion of the CIP funding goes toward streets. Costs are expected to reach about $22 million. The plan will fund projects related to bridges, intersec- tions, pavement markings, reconstruction, maintenance, and school and neighborhood safety. For this category, proj- ects include the expansion of the John McCain bridge,

more and having a useful life of at least ve years, the CIP stated. Assistant City Manager Adrienne Lothery said CIP projects come from Col- leyville City Council pri- orities, a department’s recommendation, or when grants funds or partnerships become available with other cities or the county. “Every project exe- cuted serves to maintain or improve the quality of life for residents,” Lothery said via email. “The CIP is a plan.” While the projects and the timelines have been approved by council, they are subject to change based on priority levels, nancing opportunities or changes sought by the mayor and council, city documents stated. The CIP also has no set funding source. The Col- leyville Economic Develop- ment Corporation, which gets its revenue from a half- cent sales tax, has funded projects as well as the Crime
the senior center and the Col- leyville Gateways. Colleyville is also planning to spend nearly $11.38 million on improvements to side- walks and trails throughout the city. Planned projects include the Bedford Road Trail, which will provide a con- nection from Glade Road to Sparger Park, and the Brans- ford Trail that will connect Field Street to Shelton Drive. About $8.89 million is expected to go toward facil- ities projects, such as reno- vation to the public works service center and renova- tions to Fire Station No. 3. For drainage, city o cials estimate spending about $1.9 million, according to the plan. These projects will “optimize the performance and maintainability” of the city’s drainage system, such as water facilities, stormwa- ter runo and ood risks, the CIP stated.
