Another opportunity for public input will be available at the June parks board and town council meetings. What they’re saying Parks Board Chair Teresa Thomason said the town must balance funds with the requests. Parks Board Vice Chair Rick Ken- yon said the town needs more tennis and pickleball courts, the proposed park needs less open space, and it needs to meet the bicycling community’s needs.

Residents at Flower Mound Parks Board’s April 4 meeting saw drawings of two versions of Trotter Park, which would have pickleball and tennis courts, a track and other amenities. In a nutshell Attendees voiced their design preferences and saw drawings created by MHS Planning & Design. These drawings contained feedback gathered through meetings, online surveys and the Jan. 9 public input session. MHS representatives also discussed survey results from the public. Conceptual designs will be modified based on parks board suggestions, officials said. The

Lewisville ISD forecasts $15M budget shortfall Lewisville ISD officials are working through the 88th Legislature’s inaction on school funding. The state allots school districts $6,160 per student who meets the average daily attendance threshold. That amount has not increased since 2019 despite a rise in inflation, Superintendent Lori Rapp said during an April 8 presentation. “Because the Legislature did not appropriate [funds] we don’t get it, and so it just sits while kids sit in classrooms that are underfunded,” board President Jenny Proznik said. The details To keep up with inflation, the state would need to increase the funding allotment to $7,515 per student, Executive Director of Finance Amber Lasseigne said. The budget shortfall for fiscal year 2023-24 is about $17.6 million. Through ongoing campus and central office staff reductions as well as

In AISD, board members named former Flower Mound High School Associate Principal Shannon Knowles as Argyle High School’s new principal March 25. “I am deeply committed to continuing the tradition of excellence and fostering a pos- itive and supportive learning environment for all students,” Knowles said.

Argyle ISD approves leasing spot for AT&T cell tower

E. HARPOLE RD.

A new cellular tower might be built on Argyle ISD property. The tower would be owned and maintained by New Cingular Wireless Personal Communication Service LLC over a five-year lease, which would generate about $2,000 a month for the district, Director of Operation Tommy Ledford said during an April 15 meeting.

The details The 114-foot tower would be built at Argyle Middle School’s baseball complex. Argyle ISD board members recommended placing the tower on the north side of the bullpen. “Cingular will] have to submit this site plan to the city,” trustee Josh Westrom said. “Approving this doesn’t necessarily mean it’s going to happen.”

Denton Creek Bridge project nears start A new bridge in west Flower Mound will begin construction sometime this year and will be ready for use next year. Flower Mound Town Council approved an amendment to the interlocal cooperation agree- ment with Denton County for the construction of the Denton Creek Boulevard Bridge. Bids were received April 2, town officials said. The specifics The project includes construction of a new multispan bridge, two 12-inch water lines, an 8-inch reuse water line, and a multiuse trail extension, according to project details. The bridge will be built on the north end of Denton Creek Boulevard. Design and right-of-way acquisition have been finalized. The budget is a little over $7 million, with funding coming from impact fees, Denton County bond money and project savings.

Council OKs access to road near school site First responders will have access to a road near a school site after a March 18 decision by Argyle Town Council. The details Council revisited a special-use permit concerning Argyle ISD property along FM 407, amending it to allow a gated emergency access for first responders via Postmaster Road. The vote also included allowing AISD officials the option to access Sam Davis Road for westbound traffic only, if they choose. Argyle ISD Superintendent Courtney Carpenter said the district agrees with the recommendation for emergency vehicles to use Postmaster Road to access the cam- puses. AISD is adding a middle school to the area and will eventually build an elementary school nearby.

BY DESTINE GIBSON

A new multisport facility will complement the growth occurring in the Northlake area. Town ocials celebrated a groundbreaking for the StarCenter Multisport Northlake on April 15. The $45 million, 225,000-square-foot facility will be the rst of its kind, Dallas Stars President and CEO Brad Alberts said. It will feature two NHL reg- ulation sheets of ice and eight basketball courts, which can be converted to 16 volleyball courts. The center is slated to open next fall. It will be located along SH 114, near Texas Motor Speedway. “It’s going to provide a great amenity for the region,” Mayor David Rettig said. The backstory Bringing a facility to Northlake has been nearly two years in the making, council member Brian Montini said. Voters approved funding during a special election in November. Northlake will own the center, and the Stars will operate under a 30-year lease. Some of the facility’s uses include practices, public skating and tournaments. It is expected to draw guests who will help drive economic growth, Montini said. Also of note The StarCenter will be adjacent to Chadwick Farms, a 60-acre mixed use development that will have a hotel, multifamily units, restaurants and retail upon completion. The area’s development is a three-way partnership between Northlake, Western Securities and the Stars, Montini said. Western Securities previously owned the land where the StarCenter will be located.

“[Chadwick Farms] will just enhance the overall experience for residents, guests and [visitors],” Western Securities consultant Elise Mikus said. “It’s a great location, lots of trac and we’re hoping to be able to come provide some services and entertainment-related uses that just aren’t in the marketplace.” In addition to its economic impact, the StarCen- ter will help turn the area into a destination, Montini said. “This is really about investing in our future,” he said. “It gives us a sense of totality and a mas- terplan for that area so we can bring in what the residents are asking for.”

FLOWER MOUND HIGHLAND VILLAGE ARGYLE EDITION

Highland Village road work aims to extend lifespan From the cover

What’s happening?

Road reconstruction

MEADOWBROOK DR.

LEWISVILLE LAKE

Phase 1 (complete) Phase 2 (in progress) Phase 3 (TBD)

An asphalt overlay on Highland Shores Boule- vard is needed to maintain the roadway, increase its longevity and maintain good ride quality, according to project details. Once work is com- pleted, it will likely be eight to 10 years until the city needs to spend a signicant amount of money on repairs, Kriston said. Work is anticipated to nish before fall. Cross- walk work and sidewalks are being constructed between Highland Village Road and Briarhill Boulevard as of late April. Once the overlay begins, likely in May, trac will shift to one side, Kriston said. As a feeder street, Highland Shores Boulevard is one of the city’s busiest roads, Kriston said. It is the east-west connection through the city and carries about 5,000 cars daily. The project also addresses pedestrian mobility, a new initiative sta is considering for all road proj- ects, Kriston said. A bike lane will also be added to the eastbound section.

Phase 3 of the 2022 bond streets improvement project is anticipated to go out for bid in early 2025, according to city ocials. The entire project is expected to be completed that same year. More work is planned for Highland Shores Boulevard. The section from Briarhill Boulevard to Twin Coves Drive will be reconstructed. Crews will replace the concrete pavement as well as improve drainage, and pedestrian and trac safety, according to project details. The $500,000 project is in the engineering design phase and will be funded through the bond program. “Streets are really the most visible thing that aect people every day,” Stevens said. “We want to make sure we have the best roads possible for us to drive on. This is going to go a long way.”

Infrastructure is reviewed annually, Kriston said. City sta uses a pavement condition index, and roads are tapped for maintenance once its score falls between 60-69. The 25 streets included in the 2022 bond streets improvement project were identied as failing. Phase 2 will aect 132 residences; all three phases impact nearly 500 residences, Kriston said. He said the impact will be temporary. “If a project has 220 days allotted to complete, it’s not going to be 220 days that your road in front of your property is torn [up],” he said. “It might be a three-week process in front of your residence.” City ocials plan to keep residents informed, said Laurie Mullens, director of marketing and communications. Letters were sent to those who will be impacted. “[Reconstruction] certainly is an inconvenience, but once it’s all done, it is very much worth it,” City Manager Paul Stevens said.

Damon Williams, owner of Cadence Cyclery of Lakeside, said a dedicated bike lane will help improve safety and minimize the trac impact. “The No. 1 thing that road cyclists think about is safety,” he said. “We always had to go single-le getting through [Highland Shores Boulevard]. If we had a bike lane we could ride through a lot faster and with less impact.”

Uncle Mike’s Bistro serves breakfast, lunch in Argyle Valarie Gross said before she and Mike Gross married in 2010, they knew they wanted to open a business together. “We knew we wanted to work together forever,” Valarie said. in on-the-job training from one manager in particular.

Pancakes ($9.49) are made from scratch, not from a mix.

“She said ... be my kitchen manager, and I’ll teach you everything you need to know,” he said. “She taught me how to be a manager, how to cook, run a kitchen and better myself as a person.” The husband-and-wife duo have divided respon- sibilities based on their strengths. Mike runs the back of the house, while Valarie maintains the front of the house. “She’s the face [of the business], and that’s the way I wanted it,” Mike said. “I told her, ‘I’m not the face, I’m the food.’” Popular menu items Mike comes up with the recipes and makes most items from scratch, including the dressing used on the honey mustard chicken croissant, one of their top selling sandwiches. “I have one guy who came in, tried it, loved it,” he said. “He came in the next day and had it, then came in that weekend and brought all his friends in. They all had it, and now they all come in once a week and have the honey mustard chicken sandwich.” Other top sellers are the BLTA and pancakes. “We sell everything every day,” Mike said. “Nobody believes me, but from this menu, I sell at least one of everything that is on here.”

In October 2020, the entrepreneurial couple bought Coee Tree Cafe in Argyle. Six months later, they changed the business name to Uncle Mike’s Bistro. What’s in a name Mike said when they bought the business, they immediately added menu items that were more bistro in nature, such as paninis and wraps. However, longtime customers and those returning for the rst time under the new own- ership were requesting a variety of coees and cupcakes, which were top sellers under previous ownership. The couple asked their nieces to help rename the business with a name that reected their menu. “They literally put names in a hat, and Uncle Mike’s came out of the hat,” Valarie said. Meet the owners Valarie said she comes from a family of restau- rant owners and has been working in restaurants or retail since she was young. Mike took a job as a dishwasher in Boston, which led to industry connections resulting
