Castle Hills' Commons Area
The Common's Committe has hosted a couple of "planting days" at the Commons. Plants were donated and there were many citizens that volunteered their time and tools to help beautify the Commons. Although some plants are doing better than others, they will survive. The benches have been dedicated, the walking track is in great shape and cool weather is just around the corner. It's nice to see that many of you having been taking advantage of the walking track in the mornings. I've seen a few "hot weather addicts" walking or jogging in the afternoon too! It'll be great to see you too at the walking track.
Loop 410 Expansion
The Loop 410 expansion is causing lots of headaches, but is moving ahead.
Here's the latest...
The NW Military Highway bridge is now open both ways. Those of you that had been using an alternate route, I'm sure are pleased with the ease of being able to access Loop 410 east bound. I've heard comments from a few business owners that have noticed the increase in traffic and real pleased.
Loop 410 between Honeysuckle & Jackson Keller - to be completed late August 2004 or early September 2004.
The City Hall identification sign has a new look!
Many thanks to the Woman's Club for a great contribution.
