other projects The Trophy Club Town Council ap- proved several new construction projects during its April 26 meeting. On tap is an extension of Junction Way; improvements to the Parks and Streets Department Maintenance Facility; im- provements to three trails; and replace- ments to the existing batting cages and lights at Independence Park West. UPCOMING PROJECTS 1 Trophy Club Town Council approved paying $352,650 to Manning Concrete to extend Junction Way as part of an agreement with the Trophy Club Munici- pal Utility District No. 1, according to the agenda item’s memo. Trophy Club MUD 1 will contribute $83,498 to the project. Junction Way is located on the east side of Trophy Club near the end of Indian Creek Drive, the memo states. The road abruptly ends and is followed by gravel that extends past the Trophy Club Country Club Maintenance Facility and the Parks and Streets Department Maintenance Facility and leads to the entrance of the Trophy Club MUD 1 water treatment facility. Because of this, the Town Council and Trophy Club MUD 1 o cials signed a property exchange agreement on July 30, 2020, to split the cost of extending Junction Way from its current end to the water treatment facility, which will “im- prove the stability of the roadway when driving heavy equipment in and out of both facilities,” according to the memo. Trophy Club is also requesting im- provements be made to the Parks and Streets Department Maintenance Facility by adding more concrete for parking heavy equipment and trailers; a motor- ized gate for security; and an enclosed space for the roll-o dumpster at the facility. This part of the project will be solely funded by the town since Trophy Club MUD 1 only agreed to help fund the

road extension. 2 The Town Council also approved improvements to three trails between Parkview Drive and Lakeview Elementary School, which are being done through an interlocal agreement with the city of Grapevine, according to the agenda item. Manning Concrete is also the contractor for the trail improvements and estimates the project to cost $224,699. The memo states that the trails, which cover 2,200 linear feet and are made of asphalt, are “in desperate need of repair,” as they have severe degradation, large cracks, tripping hazards and three spots that do not meet Americans with Disabili- ties Act requirements. Three trails will have their existing asphalt removed and replaced with concrete, according to the memo. The work will be done in three phases, which will cause portions of the trail system to be closed to the public. Town o cials estimate the trail projects will take about four to six weeks to complete.
3 The third approved project is to replace the existing batting cages and lights at Independence Park West, the agenda item’s memo states. The batting cages were originally installed in 2016 but were taken out of commission in March “because they were in disrepair due to their age.” When town sta met with the Trophy Club Roanoke Youth Baseball Associ- ation in March, both parties agreed on replacing the batting cages and lights, according to the memo. The town and the baseball association agreed to split the cost of the project 50/50. Play- ground Solutions of Texas will replace the batting cages, and Nema 3 Electric will replace the light xtures. The total project cost is about $52,819, the memo states. The baseball associ- ation and the town will each pay about $26,409 to fund the project. Trophy Club will not move forward with the project until the town receives the $26,409 payment from the association.
