2 Highland Village Road sidewalk improvement project Improving walkability in the city has become a priority, and according to City Manager Paul Stevens, the large sidewalk project along Highland Village Road is nearly complete. Work began just east of Sellmeyer Lane and works southwest. A footbridge still needs to be installed, and a few smaller cleanup tasks need to be completed, Stevens noted in his February city manager report. The improvements are part of the 2018 bond program passed by the Highland Village city council. Cost: $883,350 Timeline: Spring 2022-Spring 2023 Funding source: 2018 bond program
3 Chapel Hill sidewalk improvements Another project born from the 2018 bond, construction on the Chapel Hill sidewalk continues to progress, according to Paul Stevens, city manager. The winter weather events from the beginning of February slowed this project down, Stevens said, but crews are making prog- ress as the month progresses. Highland Village o cials expect the project, which began in the fall of 2022 and stretches along Garrett Drive from Amhurst Drive to Millington Drive, to be completed within the next month. Cost: $250,000-$350,000 Timeline: Fall 2022-Spring 2023 Funding source: 2018 bond program
